This is by far my newest favorite book of all time, and I hope to read many more novels by Bonnie in the future. The research to write this beautifully powerful story deserves five stars in and of itself. I'm looking forward to watching the t.v. series, but nothing will compare to the poetic writing of Bonnie Garmus.
Do yourself a favor and put this at the TOP of your TBR list!
