this book is about a 16 year old girl who has never been taught how to stay. she travels alone, unable to stay in one place because her flaws are too much for others…so she thinks. it’s heart wrenching and heart warming and very well might make you tear up by the end

This book was an emotional rollercoaster. The story of a young girl, left to fend for herself, never knowing love, companionship or security. April has lived a million lives in the span of this book. She has loved & left, over and over and over. Never feeling worthy enough to stay with the people she truly loves & who love her back. It was hard, reading about her falling into the same patterns and not allowing herself to settle down. I absolutely love the characters in this book, especially Margo & Ethan. The ending is bittersweet and hopeful, although I need MORE!

I need to know what else happens, does Justin come around? What about Robert? Who does little Max grow up to be? Ughhhh I seriously need more! I’m not ready to let go of April.

new favorite book. it sounds so cheesy to say, but it literally made me laugh, cry, and everything in between. it felt like a privilege to be inside April’s mind and accompany her on her journeys. this is a beautiful read and i highly recommend it to those who have ever been in search of meaning and love.
