I know some people are criticizing this book for having such a “dream like” ending and for having Eric respond in the positive way he did, but personally that’s just what I need to read sometimes. And people seem to forget that the first four years of the book wasn’t very dream like at all for Morgan.

over all a new favorite of mine!

Russo commands her readers to listen, and demands them to feel. This book, like IIWYG, wrecked me. It's an absolutely heartwrenching story, and Russo tells it with a real and raw narrative.
