Hmmm, didn’t care for it. This was supposed to be one of those emotional reads, like [b:The Sea of Tranquility|16151178|The Sea of Tranquility|Katja Millay|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1352987353s/16151178.jpg|21547521] or [b:Hopeless|15717943|Hopeless|Colleen Hoover|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/135...
My first trip to a library again after ten years of not being in one resulted in a fantastic first read.
