IMHO - unnecessarily detailed sexual content - I didn't expect to encounter this and found it gratuitous.  Moving father- daughter relationship, female friendship, forgiveness, reflections on world views and creativity.

I felt conflicted that I wanted J and G to end up together, even though January:Naomi as Sonia: January

I had to read this one a second time to really fathom everything and I'm so glad I did. The first time I read this I don't think I appreciated the writing as much as I should've and just the whole message behind the book. How every character added something to the story.
I really loved this one.

Is very similar to Book Lovers and You And Me On Vacation. As someone who likes those books, I find it comforting.
