Small book, huge impact. 
I read this book in less than two hours in the middle of the night (Jetlag) and thoroughly enjoyed it. Will devour this book again and again. 
You know, you kinda know what’s coming in the end. Still, I was not prepared. Definitely needed a good cry. 
What I especially admire about this book it that it acknowledges issues and still forgives. The past is the past. Second chances exist and people can heal.

Omg , indication of what a safe space and nurture can do to change a life. Heartbreaking how circumstances can alter someone’s life so drastically to which they don’t deserve. Ending was shocking but the very end was so sentimental. If you like perks of being a wallflower I think you may like this .

a beautiful, heart-wrenching, and powerful story about family, love, loyalty, camaraderie, and friendship. though set in the heart of winter in maine, this book will warm your heart and rip it to pieces simultaneously. joseph brook and his story will definitely stick with you long after finishing this short, but impactful and beautiful read. would highly recommend!

This book broke my soul. I haven’t felt this much pain from a book in awhile. This was my VRC book #3.
