How have I not written a review for this book yet? All I can think is that it is because I read it the first time before routinely shared my thoughts about books in a public forum. That has to change.

This is one of the most beautiful, thoughtful, solid books I have ever read. I have read or listened to it more than I can count. It is the comfort food of reading for me and it is there for me when I need my cathartic moments.

Every character in this book is flawed but they are all still so entirel ...more

This book literally took my breath away. It will tug your heart and yet comfort you too. It was disease and medicine in one. It will pull you down but definitely help you rise again.

Their journey isn't all smooth sailing, it ...more

I’m only going to say this once. It’s something I have never said in my entire life. This book made me LOL. That’s right folks, I said it. I laughed out loud in that spontaneous “I don’t care who is around” kind of way. Multiple times. And it garnered some sideways glances.

Penny Reid writes like my friends and I talk and that makes me love her characters even more. The Winstons and Drew Runous charm the pants right off of me. Ashley is strong and courageous before, during, and after tragedy str ...more

Since I didn't get to go meet Penny today in Houston at a book signing, I figured I'd buy one of her books to make myself feel better. I LOVED this story the best of all so far! It might be because of all the bearded beauties, but this story was just lovely. ...more

When I first read this book a few years ago ... it was not my favourite in the least - but now a few years on ... I feel I understand this book better and the feels it shares
