A compulsive read! I honestly couldn't put this book down.I loved the first person point of view. I know that it isn't always popular with readers but I love the way it gets me inside Julie's head in particular. Her words just flowed into me until I felt like I was living her life.And there's a bit of a mystery...well, a lot of a mystery, actually. I loved the way it is slowly revealed between past and present scenes. It was an excruciating wait to uncover everything and just when I thought I had...BAM...the author sucker punched me in the last chapter!!!! But it was brilliant because the whole story is about celebrating who you are and how you got there; looking ahead to the future, not behind at the past. It's about being rooted in relationships that can build you up or tear you down. It's about how the choices we make determine the life we live. Powerful stuff and Johnson tells the story so well.A stunning read that will linger with me for a long time to come.
