5.0

This is one of my favorite books. Before I found Goodreads, I would go into the book store and just randomly select my next read. That is how I found this book in high school. For some reason I had been thinking about it recently and decided to read it again, to see if it was still as good as I remembered. It was. This is one of those books that you almost need to read slowly, because every sentence makes you consider the moment. As the title suggests, this book takes place throughout the course of a year, and Pietrzyk does such a good job of describing the seasons, I almost felt like I was there experiencing them. I don't know, it's just something so subtle about this book. It's just people living their lives, but for some reason, that's just so good to read.
