When We Met by Marni Mann

 Thank you for the ARC to Valentine PR and Marni Mann!

This was the first book by Marni Mann that I've read and I am kind of sad because of it. I've actually met Marni Mann. It was in September 2019 and the place was London. I had a huge privilege to meet her at Rare 19 London -event. I had a paperback copy of When Ashes Fall with me and she signed my copy. I had to tell her that I had not yet read her book, but I had a strong will to read the book. 

A few weeks before Rare 19 London I participated this discussion about ugly cry books in one of the book groups I belong. Michelle, my bookfriend, told me that When Ashes Fall was the saddest book that she has ever read. I had just bought the book and after Michelle's confession I was too afraid to read the book. Michelle asked me that if I actually get to meet Marni Mann I would tell her how much she loved the book and how much she still thinks about the hero. I was able to tell Marni Mann what Michelle asked me to tell and Michelle was so happy after hearing this. I promised to Michelle that I'll read the book. Sadly, few months after this Michelle passed away and I still haven't read the book. Every time I see the book on my shelf I feel a bit sad. I really need to read it sooner rather than later.

But back in this book, When We Met. I went in blind and I strongly recommend that to everyone who reads this book. It's absolutely the best way to start reading this awesome book. I really try to keep my review a spoiler free. 

In this book we meet Whitney and Caleb. They meet and fall in love. They struggle and try their best to navigate in the sea of life. That's basically all I can say without spoiling something. This book is a really great reading experience and I mean experience, because there's something happening in this book I haven't seen before. It confused me a bit, but in the end everything seemed obvious and I felt stupid.

This book is about love, the true love -kind love. The other important themes in this book are trust, happiness, finding your own path, staying true to yourself and telling how you feel to the people around you.

I really liked the way the book is written, it flows forward smoothly. This is a really unique book. I hope that you will read this book.
