I have heard wonderful things about this book and it definitely did not disappoint! It was deep and emotional and meaningful and so well written. I love Callender's writing style and way with words. There were a lot of flaws in the characters, but they were worked on in a real and convincing way and their character growth was one of my favorite parts of the book. This was beautiful.
