Ahh, I loved seeing Patrick grow. My heart was so warmed by this novel. There were so many laugh out loud moments, but also some of immense sorrow and grief. Rowley did a great job of portraying both.
I don't think I have much criticism for this book. If anything, the issue that Clara makes seemed a little pointless to me. It lasted all of a chapter... but I can see how it ties into the ending.
