"Izzy hated near-misses more than she hates white chocolate. She hates the word almost. She hates the word lacking and not finishing something she started. To Izzy, if you want to brew hot chocolate you better top it off with whipped cream and if you are about to dip your feet in the sea, you should ditch all your misgivings and dive in it instead. When her dream shattered halfway through her climbing it, she could not believe herself as she hopped on a plane and found herself in a seaside small town with bicycles more than people. Then she met people, people who taught her how to catch hearts. She began to understand not everything has a cherry on top. " cover by @pathways_end
