The Great Alone by Kristin Hannah
5.0

I took a break from my usual read, which is psychological thrillers. This book really got me and all my feels. I laughed. I smiled. I ugly cried. I think in part because it hit home in a couple of ways. I grew up with an alcoholic father, and some of the scenes were very real. I also cared for my mother as she died of lung cancer. It brought it all back… The good and the bad. This book is beautifully written. I felt like I could easily visualize everything she described. I can’t recommend this book enough. I would give it more than five stars if I could.
