I remember this book being very popular several years ago which is why I put it off because I didn't want to be disappointed. I get the hype surrounding it now, but I am still glad I waited a while to read it.

This book while short is one that is powerful because it hits on the hard things about life, and gives good little reminders that while things are tough, as long as we show compassion and love we can get through them. That one person can light a spark that will helps someone grow and know they are cared about. 

Its a perfect read for those of us who are feeling rather melancholy right now and need a pick me up.
