oh my god did i love this book. Of course I cried again, as it seems  Mrs. Hannah is a professional at doing that to her readers. 
She is such a master at slamming the harshest realities of life in without apology and without sugarcoating and mixing them in with the most beautiful imagery, the deepest descriptions of love, and the ever running current of hope that threads us all together. This book was so phenomenal. I don’t have the words yet as I am still crying. (I read this in like a day)

On the reread, i cant even look at Matthews name without a rush of tears. I adore him so much
