I had issues with the book's pacing and repetition at some points, and I didn't connect with any of the individual characters as much as I'd have liked, but this book's true magic lies in its messages of being true to oneself, fighting for what you want most in life, and grieving the inevitable losses in life by loving more, not less--important lessons that I need to be better about integrating into my own life. Would recommend.
