It is an amazing book about love, friendship, coming of age, and grief. I read this book in one sitting, and gladfully so. As I was reading, I felt as though this book was moving so fast yet so slow simultaneously (not bad). I would have loved loved loved, if this book was more than 236 pages, although, I've been saying that very often about books lately. The book could have been extended past where it ended, I would have loved to see Marin's choice for moving in with Mabel's family, more on Marin's love life, college life, and work at the pottery shop Having said all of that, this was the most touching and tear pulling book I have read in a long time.
