A book that will leave an ache in me for quite awhile. This was a bit over hyped in my opinion, but I can't deny the beautiful and oftentimes inventive way that Zevin creates a world through and around Sadie and Sam. Primarily though, this is a book about trauma and pain and the love we find despite all that, which is important to know before you pick this up. It also speaks beautifully to creativity and imagination and what we seek when we play.
