I don’t usually tear up at most books but the depth of Blue’s raw emotions had me there on more than one occasion. Ms Harmon, as she usually does, describes her characters’ thoughts and feelings in such a deep and descriptive way. I could feel the sorrow, the hurt, and the hope Blue felt when she felt it, understood her need to protect herself by negative behavior and cutting words, hoped so much for love and acceptance for her.

It was hopeful, painful, inspiring, sorrow-filled and love-risking. I loved the slow transformation in Blue, how she stood her ground for herself and while she could have hardened herself multiple times she kept fighting for what she knew she wanted even when it was the harder route. All the pieces at the end were beautiful too.
