The books transport you into a different world completely, you can escape your own reality for a bit through them. The detail and poetic writing is beautiful throughout all of the books. And you feel like you really know the characters by the end.

Beautifully written, one of the best books I’ve ever read. I find myself always going back to it. I can’t even put my finger on why it is so good.

I’ve never been more invested in someone else’s love life! I love the way the book nicely moves into different times in their lives, you become so invested in them and get to watch them grow.

Beautiful book, it is hard to decide who you feel more sorry for. Also the Almeria setting adds a peace to the nasty storm they both live in.

A funny, witty book which inspired me to be more extroverted. And also made me feel better and less alone about being an introvert

One of my favourite books ever, so mysterious and you go between feeling like you know and understand a character to not actually knowing them at all many times. Great read
