4.5 stars. such a short & sweet yet impactful book. a lil too insta-lovey for me but still def recommend!!
A very simple written book, If You Come Softly portrayes the joy, excitement and challenges of teenage love in face of society and it's perceived norms.
I enjoyed how the narration changed with the characters and how well their backgrounds were set up. It's a small book that packs a punch. The ending will leave you a little jolted, if not hoping for a better world. What a wonderful little book.
