The characters are loveable and their relationships are beautifully written. My favorite character was Large Marge! Just like her name she was large but she was kind. She's gentle and protective of the weak, yet strong against the rude.Â
Kristin Hannah writing style is truly amazing! I love every prose she wrote, it's almost like I need to highlight everything! The description of Alaska is almost indescribable. The story is smooth and flowy, it's perfect!Â
I could feel the fear that Leni and her Mama felt. I fell for Matthew just like Leni did. I understood why Leni's mom couldn't leave her dad. I ached just like Large Marge ached seeing Leni's and her mom's struggle. I felt the joy of Alaska. It's a really emotional book and it was well written.Â
There are no flaws! I loved every bit of it! Even the narration by the audiobook's narrator deserves a 10. She was able to mimic the characters and emotions perfectly, adding to the emotional impact!
