I love the structure of this novel. The author takes the reader through two different story lines and weaves them together. At the end of each chapter you are wanting a little more and then the storyline switches which makes the book difficult to put down. Each side of the love story is very different, but in the end the characters come together and the plots come together in such a warm and comforting way. She was very visually creative when she put the words on the page. The last 25 pages read like a play and really help create the mood for the end of the novel. Overall it was a great novel. A little mournful, but hopeful. I recommend this book!
