In both books, she attaches detailed, relatable memories to significant moments of the story- and she weaves this net...
Was it just the right book, at the right time? I don't know, but I loved this book. I almost gave it five stars, but I'll have to read it again before I give it that honor.I thoroughly enjoyed the characters, and the style of writing. I loved the metaphors she used, such as, standing in a fiel...
