This is an incredible book. I picked it up and flew right through it. It is a great book for anyone to read, but especially for people looking for book club selections. As I got to the end, I really wanted to talk about it with someone, but at that point, no one else I knew had read it. I did get my own sister to read it though, and she also loved it and I finally had someone to discuss it with. The mix of perspectives really adds to the depth of the novel. Overall, I thought the writing style was similar to The Lovely Bones, which is another incredible novel.
