The writing in this book was beautiful. Benson really does take you to the setting and gives you all of the emotions to the point where you yourself can feel it.

“No matter how much you want to respect someone’s freedom (even when you consider it selfish), you still have your own pain, anger, and melancholy to contend with.”

this was so beautifully written.

A complex love story, the descriptions of young love, secrecy, yearning and eventual loss were just beautiful.
