And as I expected, there was tragedy. But there was also this beautiful sentiment (and I don't really think I give away anything by sharing it)
"You don't get to choose if you get hurt in this world, but you do have some say in who hurts you. I like my choices."
This made me so very happy, and ripped my heart out all at the same time. Perfection. Did this book change my life? Eh, probably not in the way the phrase "change your life" is drummed up to mean. Have I been thinking the line I referenced for 2 days? Yep.
This book I recommend. It is a quick read, and it is really a lovely story.
As a side note, I think my book list might expand. I read book reviews all the time, and I am finding myself adding to the list. Perhaps this will be more than a year long project.
Soooooo...the next book. I am going to take a break from the list and finish the other 3 books I am reading right now. The Titan's Curse (from the Percy Jackson series), The Sorceress (from the Alchemyst series) and Allegiant (from the Divergent series). Yes. All "young adult" books. I try to read many of the books my kids read so we continue to have something to talk about. The added bonus? Usually the books are awesome. With the amount of snow coming this weekend, I may have a chance to finish all three :)
