This book tops the list of my favorite books that I'd like to never read again because the plot is truly heartbreaking. I won't ever forget this book, and it will haunt me for some time. I became deeply involved with it from the start, not just because of the plot but because it is written beautifully. It's rare for me to read a book full of constant descritpion and long passages of thought and not want to skim even a single paragraph--I seriously read every word, from start to finish and loved every minute of it. This book is filled with deliciousness, so much I could sink into--a plot where no ending could be the right one, characters who were realistically (and infuriatingly) flawed but also likeable and relatable.

One detail I really liked was how I could truly picture Carrie's life going in either direction, and I didn't know which way she would go until the author wanted me to figure it out.

I'm hungry for more, and I'm sad it's over.
