Thank you to Booksprout and Roxy Winterfield for an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest views.
This story has a lovely premise and lived up to what I expected to be honest. I loved the raw emotions shared by all of the characters, but my favourite was Waverley in particular. The tone set by the author was great, showing both the awful side of grief and the hopeful side. I really enjoyed this book and can't wait to read the next book, centered around Felicity and Reef.
Side note; the names are incredible.
