This book was so terribly sad but I also found some parts very heartwarming. Everyone needs to find someone that loves them the way Charlie loved Ellen and vice versa. This is a very romantic book but in a really unique way. The troubled times and many hardships the characters faced showed just how strong we humans are. The way these folks’ lived was bleak, to say the least, and the emotions I felt for the characters shocked me. The characters really came alive and spoke to me and felt very true to life. Not all of them were likable and even the likeable ones had flaws. This story was very character driven so I liked that there were many different types of people…some I loved, some I loved to hate.

I really appreciated that the book was meticulously researched and the attention to detail was incredible. I also appreciated the way the author but across that women helping women is a great way to get through tough times. What I took away from reading this novel is love trumps all and we should never judge other people as we never know what one has gone through. This is my first book by the author but it certainly won’t be my last. All. The. Stars.
