If Only truly touched me — not only while I was reading it, but even more after I finished. The characters stayed with me, their emotions felt real, and the story left that rare, lingering warmth that only special books can bring.
I believe the highest compliment a reader can give is not praise or stars, but the simple act of returning to the book — and I did. I reread If Only. And somehow, it was even better the second time.
Thank you for writing something so beautiful, heartfelt, and human. I’ll be thinking about it for a long time.
