This book was so good that I actually missed it when I was finished. I missed reading about the characters and wanted to know more about their lives going beyond just this story. The novel was so moving I just didn't ever want to put it down. It was funny and heartbreaking and uplifting and made me want to cry many times. The writing was well done and the characters were so honest and vivid. The author put so much care into each and every character and situation. I honestly can't remember a book similar to this and I recommend it to everyone! I listened to the audiobook and it made the experience even better and more powerful.
