I really loved this book. It’s so beautifully written and it really captures feelings I’ve never quite been able to write out into words. What a wonderful story of love and loss and life.

I really liked the author’s writing style and the stylistic choices of this book.

I found the characters thoughts and actions pretty realistic, while the situations were, maybe, not as much. 

All the same, this was a nice quick read.
