Great read! The pages basically turned themselves. I always thought people were dramatic saying they wanted to throw a book across the room but this book definitely made me want to do that.. some of the choices the characters, especially Mama, made were so infuriating.

oh my god did i love this book. Of course I cried again, as it seems  Mrs. Hannah is a professional at doing that to her readers. 
She is such a master at slamming the harshest realities of life in without apology and without sugarcoating and mixing them in with the most beautiful imagery, the deepest descriptions of love, and the ever running current of hope that threads us all together. This book was so phenomenal. I don’t have the words yet as I am still crying. (I read this in like a day)

On the reread, i cant even look at Matthews name without a rush of tears. I adore him so much
