I've spent the past 48 hours since I finished this book trying to think of the words to properly convey my thoughts eloquently in a review. I can't do it. It's such a beautiful story and I feel like my own silly words will never properly capture it. So here are some random thoughts:- I LOVE Dan's writing style. A week ago I had never heard of him and I just started a 3rd book of his. I'm obsessed with him!!! He has the ability to make you see & feel everything. I hate overly descriptive writing…such as, "I needed some ibuprofen. I walked 10 steps on the beige tile leading into the kitchen. I reached into my brown leather purse that was on the round table…." where it's apparent the author is just trying to meet their word quota. Dan doesn't do that but he does describe everything in such a way that you can fully visualize it.- It takes a lot to make me cry while reading a book…I can count on 1 hand how many times that's happened and this one did it. I cared SO MUCH about David, Ryan, David's parents, almost all of the characters. I cared like I knew them, like they were my closest friends.- I want everyone to read this book, especially the bigots of the world. I want to shout it from the rooftops. READ IT!!!!! It would make all the haters realize that love is love.Dan, thank you for giving us this story. You are amazing. I'm sorry that I'm such a sucky book reviewer.
