This book is gorgeous and stunning. You can't help but feel like you are there along with Briony and Robbie and Cecilia. It makes you feel everything, from anger to anxiety to just overwhelming sadness, and the ending rips your heart right out of your chest and everything you thought you knew out of your head, all at once. Everyone should read this book before they die, at least once.
