5.0

Honestly I thought this book was perfect. I loved the writing style, I adored the characters, and there isn't a single thing I would change.

Oddly, it's not a new favorite or anything, but I have to admit that it's a 5 star read nonetheless. (Interesting, because my fellow book club members mostly didn't feel the same. Yay for subjectivity!)
