What is there to even say about this book? I read it almost a month ago and I probably think about it every day.  So close to being five stars,  it Emma ultimately didn’t pick the guy I would’ve so I selfishly have to refrain from giving it a five.  So through provoking and had me questioning what I would’ve done in this situation.  The symbolism and prose in this book are some of TJR’s best.  The need to change in order to preserve and then realizing you’re a different person.  So sad but so worthwhile.
