Wow! This book was amazing, I was expecting it to be some sort of love/yearning story of perhaps boy-tries-to-win-girl but it was so much more than that !!

I read the lives of multiple people and witnessed how they are interlocked with one another. Towards the end of the book I struggled to put it down! 

When I read the parts on the connections it shocked me as I wasn't expecting that at all! 

This was written so beautifully. The author told the story without saying it directly.

Would definitely recommend.
