Beautiful, heartbreaking, devastating, incredible! Surprised me so many times! The main character was wonderful, as was the scene setting of Alaska. The kind of book that just lives in you. A story about absolutely unconditional love.
Highly recommend but warn that your heart will be ripped out and stomped on before the end!!!
I listened to the audio book which was brilliant but this is one I am sure I would have been equally as enthralled by the physical book.
