I'm pretty confident that this is the most I've ever cried reading a book. The story and writing are extremely good, the book is immersive, I was hooked and needed to know how things played out. This was a book club pick and so I know I wouldn't have read it on my own and appreciate having something outside my regular books - however I hate getting so emotional while reading so it just wasn't quite 5 stars for me.
