 I liked this and found some parts really poignant and beautiful and other parts slow and unrealistic. The pacing wasn't consistent. I enjoyed There, There a little bit more than this one but I still think this is a great book. The characters are complex and raw and loveable, which is what makes or breaks a book for me. Enjoyed this a lot overall.
