I can't put into words what it is that's so incredible about this book. It's just so.... true and real and full of heart and heartbreak, power struggles and compassion.... And through it all, Emerson - strong, sarcastic Emerson with her heart of pure gold and layers of vulnerability. Emerson shines as brightly as her shimmery powder, and steals your heart away into her keeping. 
 The writing is spectacular. McEntire has the sass and confusion of being 16 down to an art and a science, and the magic she weaves is subtle yet enthralling. Emerson, Will, Kaleb, and all the rest - you can't help but love them all, and feel for them all and wait, impatient, eager, for the next chapter of their story. 
 Kaleb - I love you. ;)
