"I love you, and I haven’t loved many people in my life, so I don’t think I’ve done the best job at it. But you said you’d help me, and I was wondering if that offer still stands. If you—if you can be patient while I’m working on helping myself." A heartwarming, genuine, and inspirational story that delves into the lives of people who disappear, taking parts of their loved ones with them and leave them feeling like half-empty shelves. This book was heavy on the romance which I really enjoyed. There were also a lot of weighted mental health issues, which kind of lead me to slow down in my reading. I enjoyed following the experiences of all the different characters in their journey of self-discovery and trauma-processing. And then there was also the road trip to take and a mystery to be solved. The narrative beautifully explored dysfunctional family dynamics, sisterhood, self-discovery, and healing traumatic wounds, all blended into a love story. The complex bond between sisters was especially moving. It sounds like a lot, but all the themes were interwoven in a perfectly. The topic was heavy, but the author approached it with wisdom and respect for human emotions.
