This book has easily just became one of my favorites and one I will recommend to everyone. I felt a lot of emotions through it. Love, companionship, sadness, heartache, hope. If you are a reader, and if you're reading this you are, every aspect of this book will speak to you. It will remind you why you fell in love with reading, how some books have impacted and molded you, and finally why you share books with others. Because, they made you feel something.
The Reading List is a dual POV book. It follows a recently widowed man and a 17 year old girl struggling with finding her place and balancing her family's needs. Together, they read a list of books left behind by a stranger with the simple message "In case you need it." I loved watching how each found different meaning in the book, how it applied to their past and present life and how the books slowly changed them and opened them to others.
