It has been a long time since a book has made me this happy! I knew from reading The Last Time We Say Goodbye that I was going to be in for an emotional punch. The How & the Why by Cynthia Hand was everything I had hope for and then some. Hand’s writing pulled me in from the beginning. It flows so easily and […]

I will admit that it sort of upset me at first but I went with it to see if […]
