There is so much more to the story that really can't be explained in a review without giving away spoilers. Do you know if the author has another book coming?<br /><br />Staci ~ I can't wait to see what you think.<br /><br />Stephanie ~ it was, you could tell the story came from a place of honesty and experience.<br /><br />Stacy ~ thanks! I hope you get a chance to pick it up, well worth the time and emotion!<br /><br />Jenny ~ that's just my feeling, this is really one you have to read and decide for yourself. Hope my review does urge you to try :-)Teddyreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09553244883194436385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6416388930682401137.post-41754879642523537922010-02-27T05:04:55.661+10:002010-02-27T05:04:55.661+10:00Achingly sad = not for me.

To commenters - Please don't take it off your list if you think it is too sad- it's beautifully written and really does have a lot of redeeming features to it.

Ever since the girls came along, I find I get to upset by things like that. <br /><br />I am amazed that the woman could forgive the boy, but as I haven't read it I cannot understand her motives. I imagine forgiveness is the only way to help ease the pain and to move forward. She is definitely a stronger woman than me.serendipity_vivhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07156013023056026525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6416388930682401137.post-46047358017044872952010-02-26T22:03:32.017+10:002010-02-26T22:03:32.017+10:00B ~ sad and beautiful.
