Incredibly moving
I really really loved this book. It was written from several different perspectives over past and present timelines and kept me focused and interested throughout. The characters were all emotionally flawed in some way but deeply likeable, especially Leonard. His perceptiveness, kind and wise nature was touching and inspiring. The main relationships had so much depth and tenderness and were forged in spite of and because of varying traumatic events; theoretically these characters ought to have been left emotionally bitter and scarred - the beauty of this book lay in their ability to continue to love. Just wonderful.

Loved it!
I bought this book really cheap on a whim and i'm glad i did. it is one of the best books i have read in a while, i just could not put it and finished it in less than a day. you genuinely feel for all of the characters and are hoping that everything will turn out ok. the central relationship between Leonard and Mitch is really touching. read this book and you will lose yourself in it.

One of the best books I've read this year
I don't get a lot of time to read, so I'm quite selective in my choice. But I loved this book and would highly recommend it.
