I have a lot of mixed feelings about this book. I loved the writing but did not like either of the main characters. I did love a lot of the side characters, though. Towards the end, I broke down sobbing and used many tissues. The ending was good, but I don't think I will ever read this book again. I was warned how sad it was, but I still wasn't ready.
