This book has been in the bottom of my TBR for a while (I tending to prioritize bestsellers just above the classics when I read), but it was worth it! It pulls at your heartstrings and for those of you that absolutely need it to, has a not-unhappy ending. No spoilers there, but we all know there are times where a sad end isn’t what you need :) 

One scene containing sexual assault, and some themes of racism/classism, as one would expect from a book about America in the 1960s.
