I loved this book even more this time around. I think this is the third time I have read it, but I have learned more each time. This time I really keyed into the beautiful writing. I loved her description of the Idaho landscape and the mountains. She has a beautiful way with words. The ending surprised me, even though I have read it before and I like that. I read the forward again and enjoyed learning the history behind the story and the writer. This is a very mature book and I feel like I understood the themes better now than I have before.

While I have read every single one of CRB's children's books, this was her first adult novel that I read. The characters and the writing were absolutely amazing, and the plot drew me in so much that I spent a lot of time reading this book instead of studying. The one downside was that the plot, which was comparing an immature love affair with a mature one, wasn't exactly my cup of tea. And since most of the time, I read to escape reality, a book that ends like this one did makes me a little depressed. Amazing writing, though.
