A beautiful, heartbreaking love story that really subverted my expectations. I had a tough time getting through the first half of the book, but then it really picked up and I was glad I stuck with it. I found it hard to read about Dannie at times because I found her quite unlikable, especially when it seemed she was going to betray her friendship, but ultimately I was able to empathise with her character.
