Natalie "Curling up with a Coffee and a Kindle"’s first review of the year

really liked it
This was one of my most anticipated reads for early 2023.
Whilst I enjoyed the audiobook, and looked forward to reading it, it didn't quite live up to my high expectations.
I loved the characters. Maddie reminded me an awful lot of myself at times, with her social awkwardness. Her father made my heart melt, although I had to search whether Parkinsons has confusion symptoms as I associated it more with dementia. That said, it was a good story, and ...more
