    I LOVE THIS BOOK SO MUCH DDD

    I've written a bunch of poems inspired by this book (I don't have many of 'em posted on here, though).

    Bookmarked. Best of luck.

      & yes, this book was just one of those ones that makes you go 'wow' after you flip to the last page.

        It's an amazing book, because the author doesn't try to pretend that there's a happy ending to the story. There's resolution, but still that deep, resounding pain and sense of tragedy. So, so powerful.

          very true - I had my eye on this book a long time before I read it & I'm glad I finally did.

            I had a $30 dollar giftcard for B&N, and I was just cover-browsing for something new; and I came across it. So so glad I bought it.
