The Scent Keeper by Erica Bauermeister
4.0
adventurous challenging emotional inspiring sad medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

This book tugged at my heartstrings in the beginning, and towards the end it had me turning pages to find out what’s next. I appreciated the characters’ struggles to reconcile troubled pasts with current events/behaviors, and the theme resolving as accepting simply what is, and moving forward the best we can. 
Some aspects of the book felt a little glossed over or too simple (least of which but most interestingly the nod towards synesthesia which would have been amazing to learn more about!), but overall it was a beautiful book.
