One of the best books I’ve ever read. It’s not often 800 pages is well-spent, where I don’t get bored and when it’s going to end I want to put off completion. It might be good to read this when one is older and has learned that relationships are everything in life because, really, that’s all this is. It’s just loving in spite of what someone has been through, if they still choose to treat people decently.
One qualm:: THIS AUTHOR HAS HORRENDOUS COMMA HABITS!! Literally the only thing that made it at times unreadable because it’s so distracting and confusing.
