I liked this book as a simple and easy read to get me through the heavier books I am reading and have recently finished.
I liked it because of the message it presents, and the beauty in simplicity and feeling all of the emotions without letting them control you.
But maybe I found it could have been a better book? Maybe I found it too simple and the moral of the story was just too obvious?
