Review of advance copy received from Netgalley
I received a copy of this eBook from netGalley for a honest review.
This is a lovely little story about a girl grieving her mother and being moved away from her city home to a beach town with her dad. She's bottling up her emotions so it's perfect that she finds a message in a bottle. The story leads to real treasure from there.
