This is the first book I’ve ever read that’s based where I grew up (not exact but in the OBX). It is now one of my favorite books ever, a heartbreaking but beautiful read. The ecological and environmental imagery is magnificent.

I had some problem in the beginning of this book, i think it was because it jumped in time. But after talking to my grandma about the book i started to really enjoy it. And wow i read it fast in the end, but it also took a while.
