Every Last One by Anna Quindlen

4.0

I found it very odd how much I liked this book, but I suppose I connected easily with the darkness of it. Be prepared to cry and shudder at every turn of the page. The book is emotion and character driven, not plot driven. So if you're in the market for a murder-mystery thriller, look elsewhere. Quindlen does a fine job at reaping the sorrow that engulfs her main character and walking us step-by-step through her mourning process as we learn what it might be like to cope after tragedy. Every Last One is an extraordinarily written piece of literature.
