The thirteen-year-old pirate. And the beekeeper that saved his life.

This was a HUGE 5 star read from me, what an incredibly, beautiful story.

It's a love story, but it's not..
It's a thriller, but it's not..
It's so hard to describe to people when I recommend it, and I do, a lot!

This story spans over 30 years, with a boy named Patch, and a girl named Saint, their friendship and love story is beautiful, and heart-breaking, don't go into this book looking for some earthshattering flowery love story, you will not get it, some of this story is raw, and sad and very emotional, it is about obsession and love and hope.

It is a slow character driven book spanning multiple generations, don't go in expecting a quick ride, you will not get it here, but what you will get, is that feeling when you close a finished book, and just give it a little hug before you put it back on the shelf, and then every time you pass it, you stroke the spine, just to say "Thank you"
