A story spanning decades, the tale of two friends and how their lives unfolded after tragedy struck them at a young age. A story of love and loss and heartbreak and determination to find someone you loved and lost. 

I definitely understand why so many people loved this book but I definitely didn’t love it as much as others did. 
I thought the first half of the story really dragged at times. The writing could be a little confusing and I found myself going back to reread sentences and paragraphs to make sure I was understanding it all. 

The second half of the book was so much better and I found I couldn’t put the book down at times. Saint is such an incredible main character and I loved reading about the life she lived and everything she went through. It made her such a strong person and someone you could really connect with and sympathize with. Patch was definitely an interesting character but I found him to be so selfish sometimes that I never felt invested in him and his plight. 

Overall it was a very solid read, maybe a tad longer than it needed to be but a really powerful story.
