Questa recensione è stata scritta per Recensori in anteprima di LibraryThing.I found the most intriguing part of the book to be how the main characters dealt with life's challenges/tragedies. With all the bad that happened to them - whether their own actions or results of other's actions - I felt more concerned & interested for them, rather than disapproving or judgmental. A wonderful, fast read.
Questa recensione è stata scritta per Recensori in anteprima di LibraryThing.This book was a very difficult read. The characters were indeed going through something no one should have to go through, but I found them hard to like. Ben seemed to be too self absorbed and Maggie was understandable nearly unable to cope. I'd suggest to anyone who reads this to have tissues at the ready. It was not a book I would re-read, but I would for sure suggest it to others.
Questa recensione è stata scritta per Recensori in anteprima di LibraryThing.An amazing story about love, loss and resilience. Told by the perspective of both parents we delve into both of their childhoods and about the loss of their first son Nicholas. This is a dark but triumphant read. I highly recommend this book.

But this is exactly the type of book I despise. Great writing and interesting characters that suck you in...and absolutely no resolution at the end.
There isn't too many reading experiences worse than getting down to the final ten or twenty pages and knowing, absolutely without fail knowing that there aren't enough pages left to clean the story up.
Damn it. I hate wasting my time with books like this.… (altro)
