this book starts off as a relatively easy, simple read. it's easy to get absorbed and follow the flow of the stories. i loved being with all these different characters in their cold, little towns.
but as the stories go on, things get harder, darker, and more and more intertwined. before i finished the last story, the book sat at a 3.25 for me. the stories were great, but not all were particularly moving.
the final story however, truly broke my heart, and wrapped up all the ways these characters were serendipitously related in such a moving way.
it was a beautiful read, and I'm glad i stuck through to the end.
