This was a great read. It really surprised me. Slammed dealt with so much more than I had anticipated. I loved all of these characters, each one brought something unique and beautiful to the story. Really this was a great story about love, life, family, friends, growing up, and and dealing with all the things that could go wrong along the way. I really loved so much about this story, and I just noticed that there is a second book!!! So naturally I will be adding that to my to-read list.
