This is definitely one of the best books I’ve ever read.
I knew I loved this book because half way through I was thinking how I could write this review to convince you to read it!
The author gave us a snapshot into the daily lives of characters and their families and how one event tests who they are. You get to know each character so well that you enjoy their successes as if it were your own. This book will make you have conversations with yourself, roll your eyes, and definitely laugh.
Just go read it.
