This book was so well written, and so heartbreaking.  I just want to affirm that there is a HEA, but the road to get there will rip your heart out.  I have read books that are sadder (more sad?) than this, but I can't think of a single one where the heartache hit so close to home.  The themes of loss and and change both in relationships and yourself as you get older was so realistically done, there were scenes that literally stole my breath.  I struggled to get through to the end of this one because of all the varied feels, but I'm glad I persevered and made it to the other side.
