Despite being written in a dreamlike prose with a melancholic tone, this is a deeply uplifting story about second chances. And while it might be played out, I will always love a weather-based metaphor. And and and… not to be hyperbolic, but this is one of the most beautiful books I’ve ever read. I kind of want to scream it from the rooftops, but I’ll settle for writing this review. Here’s some parts I liked:
“This is the story of my life: standing on the edges of things and worrying, when I’m supposed to just walk through them.”
“He laughed, and suddenly summer did not seem so very remote.”

Sounds like an amazing book. I'm not a fan of second chance romances. But maybe I should give this one a try...Great review
