I'm so glad this was my first read of 2021. Had I read this as a young person, it would've been an all-time favorite that I re-read all of the time. As it was, I can't wait to pass this along to my son so he can read it. I loved the atmosphere of this book. The nostalgia of a small town where everyone seemingly knows everyone else's business but under the surface there are many untold secrets and stories just waiting to be uncovered. I loved Abilene and her friends. I loved the past storyline as well, and definitely found myself very moved by the ending.
