“ I personally liked this one even better than the first. You see new sides to her character not revealed before. There are twists and turns around each page. Her new love interest is depicted so eloquently you might fall for him yourself.”

“I definitely recommend the story. I found it very easy to like Persephone while disliking her horrid father. Without giving away spoilers, Persephone’s evolution [to] a woman in control of her future is full of suspense.”

The best friendships don’t seem to have a beginning and promise to last forever. When we are very lucky, we have friendships that last a lifetime. Matilda and Tessie were always friends and were always going to be friends until life got in the way. Growing up, health problems, and careers were not going to push them apart. As Matilda’s health declines, Tessie will do whatever it takes to keep her happy and healthy, including mild burglary and contemplating murder.
Thinking about death doesn’t seem to bother Matilda too much. Instead of worrying she tries to enjoy life while she has it, and do whatever she likes on a whim. This apathetic ideal only drives Tessie crazy.
“This book surprised and inspired me as it unveils a new tale of friendship, explores the themes of deep longing, and how to cope with loss. Not to reveal too many spoilers, but the friendship displayed in the book will cause you to reflect on the relationships that matter most in your life and the lengths to which you would love a friend. ”
