This had to be one of the deepest books I have read recently. The synopsis was not lying when it said it wasn't a typical romance. I don't think I have read anything this emotional since I was into Hawthorne and Dickens. It was gut wrenching, infuriating, hilarious, at times, and ultimately uplifting. A real journey through life pushing to a glimpse of death.I know some of the characters had to be based on real people because every once in a while they would go by a different name, but consistently. Besides it would be hard to completely make up people that honestly screwed up. That was really the only editing issueI would definitely reccomending this book, but not without an open mind, and maybe some tissues. If you are squeamish about realistic violence, learn to skim over passages. None of it is overly dramatized or unnecessary.Now I have to go hug the heck out of my kid because,  at the end, this book will definitely make you appreciate all of your family.
