What can I say that hasn't already been said about this book? Nothing. So, I'll just have to talk about what everyone else already has said they love. This is the most beautifully written modern story I've ever read! Seriously, the prose is absolutely gorgeous, the book is worth reading on that note alone! I also really enjoyed going back and forth through time. I thought it really added suspense that the story needed to keep the readers captivated in the last third of the book. The perspective of a blind girl is brilliant, it really makes all your senses involved in the story and not just imagery. On top of all that, everything is stringed together in the end and not in a neat and convenient way that so many books do.
