Oh my...

So I read this book as the first of my self imposed Thanksgiving 24 Hour Read-A-Thon and wow, what a way to get started.

I knew this was poetry and I wanted a soft start to feel like I started off with a great deal of progress. I wasn't expecting this one to patch such an emotional punch. Drink plenty of water with this one and keep some tissues handy. You'll be laughing and crying all the way through.

I love the distinct personalities of Grace and Tippi and how immediately Grace is distinguishable as quiet, a bit reserved, and a peacekeeper, while Tippi is outspoken, blunt, and goes full-throttle. Their friends Yazmeen and Jon are as fully rounded as they can be as side characters in a two hour long story. Dragon, the younger sister to our main characters, is also a fully fledged character in her own right. I'd love a sequel from her point of view.

This is one beautiful book and I'll keep this author on my follow list.
