I don’t even know how to put words to this review. 

I will say that this book had subject matter that went into some emotional places for me personally, places that I have been terrified of most of my adult life. Some of my greatest fears were in here, and while I sobbed I also was reminded that even when things hit that rock bottom there is beauty that can be found. 

This was a beautiful and guy-wrenching story. As I finished the last page it was with a smile through tears. The raw emotion this book pulled on was a lot. 

I absolutely adored Fern. She was a character that was a little naive in some respects, but also so strong and resilient without ever really knowing she was. Bailey also held such a special place in my heart, as did Ambrose. Their stories will sit with me for awhile. 

This is a story of sacrifice, of not letting the things that are hard hold you down, of friendships despite differences, of love that goes beyond attraction. This is a story of taking some risks, of not being afraid of what others say, and for not giving up on one another. 

This is going to be quite the book to recover from.
