4.5

The first part of this book I just was not fond of the main character because she saw everything and everyone as something negative and her walls were soooo tall and thick. Then I realized she was on her journey.  I loved Luke and his niece sooooo very much. I want a Luke in my life. Life is messy and hard and this journey shows much of that bluntly. I did not like how repective certain symbolism was but it was still beautiful ones. This book handled so many topics. I got mad and threw it and then hugged it proud of some parts. Take a chance on the read I am sure there will be diverse ratings on this one. Conversation starter for sure.
