While looking through my Kindle library, I was shocked to find that I never finished this book. I am a big fan of Nicole Clarkston, so I immediately started over and I am so glad I did.
I am a big fan of angst and the whole mentality of “Beauty in Sadness,” so I loved every page of this book. What’s important to note, however, is that there is a constant theme of hope and redemption. Clarkston ties everything up neatly and the reader is left more than satisfied. Indeed, the “Prologue” at the end resulted in me having a lump in my throat that I can’t quite get rid of, even now.
Typically, after turning the last page of a Nicole Clarkston book, I immediately want to read more. I think I may revisit some of her old works now and I encourage everyone to do the same!
