"In order to miss someone, that means you were privileged enough to have them in your life to begin with."

I could not love this book anymore than I do. It is so emotionally tough and still rewarding to follow Holden's path of sorrow and forgiveness... And love.

Holden cannot forgive himself for letting Hope get into a car as a young child - a decision that changes his life, his family's life, and Hope's life for many years. He is haunted by this, and his sister is the only one who truly understands. When he loses her, too, he is so lost and hurt - and I felt his sorrow to my core.

When Sky comes into his life, he falls quickly, and must face his past, and navigate some pretty tricky waters.

The ending is so beyond satisfying.

I love this book pretty hard, and recommend it to all.
