Another fabulous sounding book recommendation from you! I didn't realize that this is a *hot* new book until I went to the library to request it. I'm #45 on the waiting list, but at least I know about this book, thanks to you! :-)

Aw, thanks. :) I hope you love it! I had placed a library hold on it ages ago, which is why I was fortunate to read it so quickly!

So glad to see you enjoyed this one. My husband bought it for me for Mother's Day, and I can't wait to start it.

Hope you enjoy it!

I know! This is one of those books where if someone didn't like it or DNFed it, I am a little sad. I'm so glad you liked it too. There's something amazing about crying at the end and still thinking the book is just wonderful and everyone needs to read it.

How could anyone not like this book?! I am shocked.

And while I normally avoid sad books like the plague, this one was so good that I can wholeheartedly recommend it despite the bawling!

Same here. :)

The premise interests me but I'd read a mostly negative review on GR and so had decided against this one - then I read this and now I'm all confused! But your recommendation is so high - and now I see that Janice liked it too... Well I trust the two of you a lot more than my Goodreads friend (who never seems to like a book, now I come to think of it) so I'll put it back on the mental list. :)

I hope you do decide to read it! I don't normally gush about books, but this one is definitely gush-worthy!
