This book was a hard read content-wise. But would highly recommend it. I think this is another book that everyone should read because the message is so powerful.

I know this book is going to stick with me for a long time.

Obviously because of the things that happened, and the things that some characters said, it was really easy to get upset with them. However, my biggest issue with the book was the part when Kate visited Stacey's house not once, but twice, and trespassed. I was hoping something more was going to happen after that, but nothing did. I felt like that went against everything else we had been shown about Kate's character.

Favorite Lines:

"Turns out any ordinary place can be made extraordinary by the presence of the right person."

"Once you know something for sure, the only path through it is forward."

"Learning how to walk away uses a different set of muscles, new ones that I haven't yet developed. The task is slow and arduous. I force myself forward. I don't look back."

"The heart is a muscle, it would seem, both literally and figuratively. It does some things like beating and loving from memory, completely on its own."

"Sometimes, when change happens, you can't stop it or control it or direct it. You can only hang on for the ride."
