This book in verse was a new experience for me. The whole thing is a poem. But it was so well done, the format did not feel gimmicky or distract from the story. Actually, it made the story even more visual and poignant. Johnson completely succeeds in breathing life into her characters. The poetry, high emotions and  the beautiful vulnerability in the writing creates an emotionally intimate experience that will keep me thinking about the characters for a long time.It is not often that a story resonates with such emotional depth and human truth. Johnson captures the heartache and exhilaration of first love, betrayal, loss, regret and ultimately strength and recovery.After the character journey, I found the ending triumphant and hopeful. A beautiful reading experience.Read this book.
