4.0

The first four chapters of this book were terrible. Starting in chapter 5, this becomes one of the most heartwarming, bittersweet, and caring stories I've ever read. The tone is pretty YA, but the characters are well developed and easy to care for. The ending felt rushed, but it was ultimately satisfying, if quick. This book is a lot like the lives it describes - some growing pains, a rich and full middle, and never as much time at the end as you might want. Would definitely recommend.
