This novel was beautiful and poignant. It was cathartic to watch the characters work through their struggles and finally address the things they've been running from. There were some not completely expected twists that really built this piece up, my only personal preference would be to have a little bit stronger of an ending. I like seeing things wrapped up with a bow and while this did not necessarily scratch that itch, I did appreciate the possibility that was left open.
