You know how there are books that you’d give to someone who isn’t a reader in hopes it would get them hooked on reading? This isn’t one of those books. This is a book for READERS. There is serious character building in this one. It isn’t an easy, breezy, read. Its a book you carry with you in your bag for weeks and it gets worn in a way that shows it’s been loved. It’s also soooo Irish (complimentary.) I would recommend this book for fans of The Rachel Incident and sad books that linger in their sadness but don’t necessarily make you cry.
