ramakn22's review against another edition
I was too sad to keep going. Reviews say it's gets better, but, honestly, I do not have enough antidepressants to get there.

Brutally sad, but gorgeously hopeful. This book has made it on my top favorites of the year. Holly Ringland's writing style is sweeping, descriptive, precise, and beautiful. I can't remember the last time I was so enthralled by a writer's use of language. The way she conveys emotion will tear your heart out.
