Watch Over Me is a haunting book full of grief and overcoming that trauma and learning to love others and be loved back. Nina Lacour knows how to write a very atmospheric book, that had you so immersed with the characters it was like you were experiencing everything too. I really loved how this book was written with the sad and eerie flashbacks and how real the main character seemed. Mila had raw emotion and was filled with such utter loneliness that was written so beautifully. Mila just wants to overcome her grief and be wanted and loved. Seeing her growth was such a heart wrenching thing and I really loved this book.

While I enjoyed this book and loved the memory flashbacks and the point of this story, I didn’t end this book feeling any type of way. I really loved reading it and it was a powerful story, but it didn’t linger with me and I don’t feel the need to think about it. Other than that, I devoured this book and absolutely loved the magical writing style, descriptions, and characters.
