Loved seeing your review Cheri. I definitely want to read the book. It's getting such good praise.
Ron, thanks so much. I don't tear up all that often when I'm reading, but this is such a sweet, and sometimes sadly sweet, book... I really hated that it had to end! I hope you love it as much as I did.
Beautiful, Cheri . Just bought this one and hope to read it soon .
Thanks so much Angela, I think you'll enjoy it. It's a very endearing story.
Thank you Karen! I really loved this book.
Jennifer, thanks so much. I really loved this book, am surprised more people haven't read it.
I love the sound of this book. When you mentioned Owen Meany - one of my favorite literary characters- this became even more appealing. Excellent review, Cheri!
Wonderful review! I loved this one as well!

Me too :)
Candi, pretty much the whole time I was reading it, every section where there was dialog between the boy and Ona, I thought of Owen Meany. It's been more than a year or two since I read that book, but I loved it, and that stayed with me. It's similar, he's a bit of an awkward soul, but charming in his manners and how sweet he is.

Thanks so much, Marilyn. Honestly, I can't imagine anyone not at least liking this book.
Beautiful review. Makes me eager to dive in.
Thank you, Michael, I hope you really enjoy this. Your review has me eager to dive into her memoir "When We Were the Kennedys"!
Thank you, Hemant! I really enjoyed this.
Great review, Cheri! I have this one and I think it is on my list for later this year. I will be sure to have my tissues handy when I read it! :)
Thank you, Jaline, I am looking forward to your review already! I think you might need those tissues for this one!

I just looked on my spreadsheet and it is on October's list - I will have time to ensure I have lots of tissues on hand! :)
(I also looked in my 2017 TBR shelf and it's not there so I will add it in - good thing this came up! :)
Jaline! I need you to organize my lists!!! : )

I would love to! Or, I could send you a copy of my spreadsheet to use as a template! :)
Thank you so much, Jaline, that would be ever so helpful!!

PM me your email address and I will send it to you. I think it's pretty straightforward, but then I created it so it may only make sense to me - lol
If you have any problems with it, just email me back and fire away with questions. :)
Thank you so much, Jaline!! You're so sweet! Message sent!

Got it, thanks!! The spreadsheet will be in your InBasket by the time you finish tending to your doggies! :)
I loved this book, too, Cheri. You're so right in describing the relationships as priceless and heartwarming. I did enjoy this book quite a lot!
Melissa, I'm so glad you loved this book, too. I keep hoping she'll write another book!
Thank you, Elyse! I'm so glad that you read this and enjoyed it!
Thank you, Linda, I really loved this little book!
Could't agree more. This book was magical and culminated in a devastatingly beautiful ending that i will never forget.
Wonderful review, Cheri. Elated to see that you enjoyed this one so much. Thought I might find some Eric Clapton Lyrics and a reference about "ghost notes" but I'll leave that alone for others to speculate on.
Thanks so much, Mike, I'm so glad that you enjoyed this, and that the ending (unforgettable) is one you will always remember. As for lyrics, too hard to imagine the lyrics for those ghost notes :-).
