I didn't care for *any* of the characters except Large Marge so I've had trouble sticking with the book. 
Maybe I'll pick it back up in the future 🤷🏻‍♀️

Amazing book. Very emotional. Predicted some twists but many were a surprise. Great story of community and human flaws.

Fantastic ending - did not expect Matthew to be alive

This story was heartbreaking, beautiful, frustrating, joyful, and everything in between! It made me want to visit Alaska so badly to experience it for myself! But also made me grateful for indoor plumbing and electricity lol
