This book made me into a shell of a person for a whole week. I was drained. This book is so heavy, but so so good. It was hard to read at times, but the writing is so beautiful I kept going. A unique and beautiful story from tragedy. It is graphic and hard from the very first chapter. Susie Salmon will be with me forever.
