It's been a while since I've read a story that felt so alive. The author allows us to appreciate all of the seemingly unimportant details of life that ultimately create our story. I felt so attached to each of the characters. They were so human. Their warmth and essence seemed to radiate from the page. Life feels a little more beautiful after reading this.
