Some of the writing in this book was beautiful, especially the descriptions of Henry’s love. However, I didn’t feel like much happened or perhaps more that there was a lack of direction/point to the book, and there were a lot of threads to the story that didn’t feel necessary. I didn’t enjoy the end section because it was just sad, but maybe the point was that things don’t work out… didn’t understand the dog rescuing bit at the end either but maybe I just missed the point.
