I was lucky enough to win a signed copy of this book from the author through a giveaway. It is a beautiful book and was very thoughtfully packaged with a hand written note. This is a poetically written memoir composed of short vignettes. While I thought the writing was incredibly beautifully, I also felt that her passages seemed repetitious. I think my younger college self would have connected to her story a lot more than where I am in life currently, but I think her story will resonate with others going from a breakup to a new love. The theme of beaches/oceans/water/waves kept coming up in many of her passages, which I understand connects throughout the memoir, but sometimes it seemed a little forced. Overall I think this is a beautiful tiny book that will look great on a coffee table or nightstand, to be thumbed through occasionally. I think the author is very talented and I am looking forward to reading more from her in the future.… (más)
