Why Did I Read? I loved Timekeeper by Tara Sim and The Count of Monte Cristo is a favorite of mine (both movie and book!) so when I heard about this latest book by her, I was sold!

It’s about navigating life through all its ups and downs and finding the people that are the marvels amongst the oddities. Zayneb and Adam are both at critical turning points in their lives […]
