This book completely surprised me and upended me in the best ways. I loved Shosh and Evan's characters--they felt like real people to me. The writing felt like a song--so lyrical, so packed with emotion, so much deeper meaning behind the words.

I lost track of how many times I had to pause and tell someone about the incredible way this novel made me feel with the insightful and deep writing that felt so refreshing and made me experience the world differently. The time slip was sometimes confusing, but I patiently read on, trusting this novel to reveal its secrets.

My favorite part of this novel is the family relationships. Love for others was the major theme I connected to while reading--love for family, friends, and sweet romantic love too. The brotherly bond between Will and Evan made my heart soar and Shosh's own loss made my heart break over and over. Alone together--Frog and Toad forever.
