This book is phenomenal hands down amazing. I'm so clumsy with words to describe the real exhilaration and anxiety and rage and indignation and love and wholesomeness and ache and everything else I felt while reading this but this book is a treat. Vern with the twins and their whole dynamic were my favorite moments.
