Ughhhhhh this book hit so many nerve endings in the best possible way. It contained two things I crave in a novel: beautiful prose and a beautiful love story. Not just romantic love, but familial love as well. 
 I think this book also spoke to me because, having recently experienced great loss myself, the way she talks about grief is so, painfully (and I mean PAINFULLY) accurate. Also, the sisterly relationship in the book is something I'm very familiar with. I found myself thinking, "Wait, I thought only my sister and I did those things?!" 
 Side Note: Jandy Nelson has slipped into my list of authors who make me never want to write again and also never stop writing.
