A really good read, that resonates deeply with me. I can add Codi Noline to my list of favorite book characters.

But I love the basic principle laid out in the story---to live your OWN life, and live it fully; don't get caught up in making yourself lesser or "smaller" just because you think you didn't do anything great. And also don't beat yourself up because of mistakes that were made. They made you who you were, too.   hide

fantastic.

One of my all time favorites.

2 sisters, complete opposites...reminders of real life for me in this book, even though it's a different country, a different time, a different conflict... indescribable story set against a desert backdrop..2 sisters and their close relationship.
