Stunning and simply unforgettable
A heartbreaking beautiful life-story
That I could feel that this partly was a true story. Life stories such as these are with us here in real life. It never felt unrealistic bot wow so very romantic it was.
Maybe in the end was it that very last one. So touching. But there were a bunch of good moments there.
No, this one needed time. I needed time to melt it all, to get new strength and think about what just happened etc.
Higly recommended! These narrators were both perfect and did it so very well. - I LOVED this story and the audiobooks listening was absolutely stunning gripping at times. - Don't forget your tissues.
