Julia Whelan is quickly becoming a must read author whose book releases I'll eagerly await. This novel is a stunningly poignant tale of ambition, love, grief, and finding out what is important in life. I loved every second of it - staying up much too late in the night to finish it. Whelan's writing is smart and emotional - I admit that I cried quite a bit while reading. That's not something that often happens to this reader.

Pick up this book - I particularly got a lot of use from the Kindle dictionary function (which I love) - you will not regret reading it.
