This is a beautiful novel, and love story. It was hard to get through the tragedy of the beginning, but then it was an excellent and realistic portrayal of two women growing and finding themselves through hardship and heartbreak. There was so much detail packed into a relatively short story. I related so much to Emily, and adored her so much too. There was so much beauty in this novel, so much emphasis on beauty, it made me want to whole heartedly pursue all the beautiful things for myself. It was inspiring and lovely.
