Loved this book and way the author thinks. This one had me literally from page one, which rarely happens for me. Basically, broken people from different walks of life come under one roof to find they can still put the pieces back together, especially when they have a shoulder to cry on. Great book!

A decent read, but not that great of a book. It starts out well, then goes kind of weird for me. I get that an incident of that type would change your world- but I am not sure it works in a book like this. And it all gets put together just way too neat in the end. It felt like the author had a great idea for a story, but didn't know how to tell it right.

This was a wonderful novel with complicated characters and an unusal story. It also had a lovely ending that didn't feel contrived or hokey. Loved it.

Started reading, didn't know what to think - - but the more I read, the more drawn in I became - - this story is magical and made me feel good (even though there are very sad elements)!

This book begins so sweetly and then layer after layer of of emotions commence. There is humor, sadness, joy, grief, loss, and catharsis. I loved it, and it was much deeper and more satisfying than I expected it to be. If you want a good meaty read that makes you feel all of these things, please read this book.
