I bought this months ago at my local bookstore, it was the first book I bought there but I didn't read it until now when my school picked it to be this months read and I'm so happy they picked it and I'm so excited to discuss it on friday. 

I am definitly team manuscript because even though I know it would be hard to swim to the shore with two kids it would be possible and especially if you are a mother and especielly if you are a mother who has already lost a child. And it's just f*cked up that she didn't tell anyone that she was back, why would anyone do that. I get that she was scared because of Jeremy but a sane person would have tried to talk to him. 

Overall this book was amazing and I totally get the hype. I really didn't see the letter being about what it was and it was just beautifully written by Hoover and it's amazing with how she came up with all of this.
