When I picked up this book at the library, and read the description I knew that it would be good, but for some reason I didn't clue in to what I was actually taking on to read. This is such a sad story that is told in such a unique way. It draws you in from the first chapter and doesn't let you go. I want to try and avoid posting spoilers here since it really is one of those stories that captivates you BECAUSE of the unexpected nature of the plot. If you like heart-wrenching stories about the power of love and the true meaning of family, then this book will take a hold of your heart and not let go. 
 And YES, it did remind me of "The Lovely Bones" for many reason, and not only the obvious ones. But, I liked this book a lot more.
