Wait, what????

My heart hurts...literally hurts!

Ok, I'll just say, the book is awesome. Well written and thoughtful. Shows how teenagers grow and learn about themselves through their high school years. Shows a loving relationship with an older relative. Highlights what coming from a troubled and broken home can be like. Illustrates grandly how even the "best of the best" can be living with secrets and pain.

This is not a HEA book...don't expect the warm fuzzies at the end. I still recommend it, because it was beautiful for what it was.
