4.0

This was my 3rd or 4th reading of "The Secret Life of Bees" (it's been at least 10 since I read it last) and once again I was not disappointed. I first read this book in high school (2007) and have kept this copy since then so it is well loved as it has moved to and from college with me, to 4 different appartments/houses, and has been handled by at least all 4 of my kids a handful of times. 

The Secret Life of Bees is definitely a read that'll stick with you for years after you finished.
