I understand why so many people read and adore this book. It’s outside of my typical genres, but well worth the diversion from the beaten path. This is a beautiful story of love in all its forms and the bravery to be yourself. My biggest detractor from awarding five stars: the main love story is fraught with horrible jealousy and what I would categorize as unnecessary cruelty.
Overall a fun read, the last chapters have such an impact and the story is wonderfully tied together at the end.
