Great Read! Amazon_customer OkaySo, it was very difficult for me to get into this book at first but I kept thinking: 15k reviews.must be for a reason so me keep on reading. So one year after I purchased it, I finally decided to actually read it. Well, I am glad I did so.I thought the author did well at developing each character. The story was very well written and I really enjoyed the story overall. It was quite an emotional rollercoaster.

I also liked that we get to the letter about halfway, deal with the fall out as we know it, and then get hit with the epilogue, which in retrospect, makes total sense. It's a story that sticks with you. Masterfully told by a very talented writer.
