I would like to start off by stating that Amy Crusan-Kramer's writing ability is one that I would rank among the elite and is truly gifted authors. She has a true talent for writing a story you are compelled to read.Never have I been so emotionally vested in a book before. Each and every chapter written leads you further and further into the life of Sammy and truly makes you feel like you are part of her story. From her first experience with Phil, to her discovering the cruelty that some humans can have but also the gentle kindness of others, to her growing friendship with Bas, each of these events and so many more draw you closer to Sam and made it feel as if it were not a work of fiction. I felt like these characters were completely real and that when Sam experienced a loss, I felt it too.This book definitely has its moments of being so incredibly sad that I had to take a moment to gather myself but I could not ask more from an author than what Amy has given here. Being completely engulfed in a story to lose all sense of self for just a very short time is, for me, exactly what I am looking for in a book and this book delivers in every way possible. I know that the next book will deliver just as this one has and I am looking forward to seeing what Sam's life holds for her.
