*I would like to thank NetGalley for providing me with a free e-ARC of this book in exchange for a fair and honest review*
I am unequivocally, irrevocably, joyfully awarding this magnificent book 5 glorious stars! This is not something I do lightly, however in this situation, I do so without hesitation.
This book had all of the ingredients for a beautiful, charming yet haunting love story. A complete, believable setting = check! Likable, relatable characters = check! Obstacles, tension, and conflict = check! A realistic, buyable resolution = check! An emotional, impassioned conclusion/ending = double check!
Our main character has a gift. A gift unlike any other. The gift of seeing all things; past, present, and future. This is such a heavy load to carry growing into the 17 yo girl we come to love, admire and revere. This caused our December to be courageous, plucky, and resilient. This was such a different twist to your typical love story and even different from most of the gifts awarded to the paranormal characters I am used to reading about. Now add in an absolutely adorable, humble, charming boyfriend, and I am hooked! I fell in love with both of them and their personalities, abilities vs inabilities, quirks, burdens, and how they so elegantly carried them.
I could gush on the attributes of this book for much longer than anyone will care to read. I will close by saying that once I started this book, it was a real struggle to put down and tend to my real life! It was charming, delightful, poignant, intense, powerful, harrowing, soul-stirring, and absolutely beautiful! I felt all the feels and am absolutely mourning its end.

Love the title, cover, and plot of this book, and Joan F. Smith is an excellent writer. This is the kind of story that can appeal to readers of all ages, not just YA. The book is about grief, healing, and love, as well as the confusion caused from growing up and finding your place in the world. Highly recommended. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC!
