Nicola Yoon writes how Nicolas Sparks THINKS he writes. (I will never get over that time that he said he was on par with Jane Austen.) This is incredible. It's just so good. So natural and beautiful and heartfelt and heart-wrenching and my gosh. Going to need to keep this one on my bookshelf (even though the audiobook was so good).

Book discusses the trails associated with interracial relationships. Maybe be difficult for those who have personally experienced that form or backlash/racism.
