This is one of those books that I've had on my TBR for YEARS and have always been excited to read. I'm not sure if it was the anticipation or what but this book was good, not great for me. I think the message is good and it's sweet but it just didn't hook me. I struggled finding the motivation to pick it up and read. 

Favorite quote: “What happened is baked into your bones, Edward. It lives under your skin. It’s not going away. It’s part of you and will be part of you every moment until you die. What you’ve been working on, since the first time I met you, is learning to live with that.”
