This is the story of a young girl named Grace who is in that confusing in-between time the summer between high school and college. She lives with her mostly checked-out mom and her dad comes by occasionally-mostly to cause trouble. Grace works at a diner in her small town of Meadow Creek. With her friends off to college and living their lives away it's hard for Grace to find her place.
Grace is a sweet and somewhat innocent girl- she loves books and is quite serious. But all that changes when she meets Luca by chance at the diner one night. The novel intricately weaves the stories of Grace and Luca, two deeply scarred individuals seeking refuge from their past traumas.
Dabrowska excels in exploring the theme of connection admist pain. When Grace and Luca's lives intertwine the sparks of vulnerability and understanding ignite a powerful bond that gradually casts light in their darkest corners. The author strikes a delicate balance between heartache and hope, emphasizing that love can indeed be a guiding force in overcoming past scars.
It's a testament to the power of love and the resilience of the human spirit. It reminds readers that healing is not a linear journey and that sometimes when everyone else has left, it is the connection with another that can illuminate the way forward. This book is a stirring reminder that, no matter how broken we may feel, there is always a potential for renewal and the courage to embrace what is yet to come. Highly recommended for those who enjoy heartfelt romances rooted in emotional personal growth.
