I loved, loved, loved this story. I don’t think I would ever be able to read it again but that’s just because some parts were so stressful I couldn’t bear it. This did such a good job of telling two stories from childhood to adulthood in excruciating detail and with such natural flow. It’s like 500 pages but I never felt that it dragged on which is very rare. Yes it’s a romance but it’s also so much more than that. I drank up every page.
