It has been a long time since I really connected to a book so strongly and so quickly. This book has a delightful amount of magical realism but still has such a real and raw feeling to it that I could really related to and I could see 16 year old me in 16 year old Sarah, I can see my family in Sarah's family. I love the way King slowly brings us in and reveals the layers of the story. I went into this book really blind and I think that maybe the best way to read King's work. I'm excited to pick up more from her, and I'm so glad that I can finally mark her off of my Authors to read list.
