This is one of those rare books that you start and cannot put down until the very last page. I am a very impatient reader and need to be captivated right from the start or I will put the book down never to pick it up. In fact, I probably have a stack of those in the back of my closet. Not this time. The book was incredibly well written, written in a way that is very “inclusive” to readers of all levels and abilities. I am not a fan of what I call “thesaurus” books: books that are so full of sentences with meaningless synonyms that it goes completely over my head. I just loved this book as it brought up a lot of emotions, at times sad, and at times happy. While it had many unsettling moments, it felt to me a story of hope, growth, a journey which many of us have experienced in some form or another, and those of us who are still trying to get there. I finished the book in three days, with a smile on my face. What a wonderful book!
