This book might very well be the best book I've read all year! One review blurb on the book cover called this "gut-wrenching and heart-breaking"--and I think they couldn't be more wrong!
This book is beautiful--a fantastic glimpse into the lives of 4 childhood friends as they traverse the trails of adulthood. It sucks you in so quickly, you can't help but be fully absorbed by their Little Wing, Wisconsin, world.
It reminded me of a story on A Prairie Home Companion listened to on a public radio station in a dark bedroom late at night. This book soothes and lulls and invites you into their world, and by the end you are cheering for the characters, and feeling so thankful you got to enjoy the ride with them for just a little while.
Very few books impact me as happily as this one has--and I cannot recommend it enough! If you're someone who lives in "middle America" (i.e. anywhere not on the East or West Coasts)...you'll find something in this book to relate to! A must-read, 5 stars isn't enough!

Loved, loved, loved this book! It's about a group of friends from a small town in Wisconsin who try to keep their friendship intact through some challenges. I want to know these people in real life! I want to know what happens next. I don't often read books about men's friendships, and this made me hope to read more.

One of the best written books I have ever read! Small town life, love, friendship, betrayal, secrets, resilience. This book will stay with you a long time.
