WOW! This 580 page book was an eye-opening, powerful, lovely and tragic page turner for me. I pushed this book off because of it’s size and he such high ratings on goodreads. I’m so glad I read this as a buddy read and we had such great conversations about this book! So if you are pushing this book off like I was, do yourself a favor and read it, you will not regret it!
