I would have claimed it was just shy of a five-star read had it not been for the fact that I’m going to go out and buy a paper copy to mark up and revisit in probably less than a week. I won’t lie, a lot of the content went over my head but the sentiments (like a lot of the letters) took hold of the very core of me in a way that made all of the feelings to come hurt both so good and so badly. I was close to crying many times and once I just had to give in. It may not be an easy book to recommend but I’ll be damned if I don’t sing its praises for as long as I can. God, this book really broke my heart.
