“For where all love is, the speaking is unnecessary.”  

4 stars. I’m upset that it took me so long to read this book. I had some preconceived notions about it and I had a feeling that I probably wasn’t going to like it. I’m laughing at myself right now because I was so wrong. I really freakin’ enjoyed this.
