Some books are capable of transporting the reader to other worlds for moments when the book is directly in front of them. And that’s such a difficult thing to come by, just mere moments. However, other books, like this one, are so vivid that the world simply refuses to be left, even when the book is closed.
At least, that’s how I felt reading this. I had to read this book in one day (yes, had to) because when I wasn’t reading, my heart and mind were perpetually in Bartlett, Indiana. This story is just so hard to escape. The characters have such real and identifiable struggles that I empathized with them more than I think any other character I’ve had the pleasure to read about.
