Holy. Cow. If you haven’t read this book, don’t walk but RUN to read it. Kristin Hannah is a masterful storyteller who evokes such emotion from all of her characters that they seem to jump off the page. I loved hearing the story told from all of the main female characters’ POVs.

When Mia died, I felt so deeply for all of the characters and how they experienced her death in different ways. I can’t imagine having to pull the plug on your own child and wonder what if. The scene where they harvest her organs was probably one that gutted me the most.

Without giving too much away, the characters all cope with a major loss, and they find different ways to do so - some healthy, some not so much. They each have to find their way back to themselves and the love they once cherished.

I came to hate Jude in the middle of the book, but she really redeemed herself at the end. Grief impacts all of us in different ways, and I think I need to remember that I have no idea how I’d handle losing your twin daughter and not to judge her .. even if she is just a fictional character.

Simultaneously so good and so sad. I loathed the mother, Jude, and perhaps it's because I'm not a mother, but her storyline just continuously made me angry. I wished there was more focusing on Lexi, even though her decisions made me want to scream. Kristin Hannah made me feel a whole range of emotions in less than 400 pages, as per usual.
