I don't care how much hate CoHo gets but this is by far my favorite book of hers. Period. This book had me bawling my eyes out at so many scenes (nothing traumatic. Just some gutwrenching, some happy moments). I was a mess at the end of this book while i had tears running down my cheeks but smiling and happy for the main character Kenna at the same time. Also, I wouldn't put this book in the romance genre. There's romance in it but it's like a sub-plot to me. It's mostly about a mother wanting to do right by her kid.

The story seems sooo real. So wholesome.

It's about how difficult it is to process grief and how individual of a process it is. It's also about how we tend to judge people uni-dimensionally when people are soo much more than just one incident. Beautifully represented by the author.
