This was an excellent read - I was a bit worried going into it that the book would be one of those saccharin-sweet stories that are all fluff and no substance, but boy was I off-base. After the first couple chapters, I sat down and made some guesses about how I'd expect the story to end, but I was wrong about all of that, too.

This is a pretty quick read, but I hesitate to call it "light" because the material is pretty moving and definitely has some bittersweet moments. I think the best way to enjoy the book is to give it a whole day - read the book in the morning, and go out and do something fun with friends and family in the afternoon.
