This book is excellent for those who enjoyed my interpretation of Come Closer. If you are looking for a book with characters that are easy to identify with and a story that isn’t all that it seems at face value this little gem is perfect. 

AND THE ENDING HAD ME ABSOLUTELY SOBBING. This book was just… everything I could ask for in such a succinct story.
