deeply meaningful submitted by cdfine on August 1, 2022, 10:29pm Brilliant story-planning going between present and past and book-within-a-book format. Storyline is so intricate and just keeps on going. I always have to take a number of breaks to cry because of the sentimentality and nostalgia and beauty of it. Action, romance, family, trauma... Ultimately a story of pain & healing.
