The book is nicely written, yet some of it seemed detached to me. There are emotions there, however the don't seem very strong. I just couldn't connect that easily. I actually took a break for about a week in the middle of the book, when I had my first week of school, and I was able to start right back up without much trouble. There is also a lot of describing (I'm a fan of description, but there was so much!) that I didn't really care for. Lastly, the main character annoyed me a little during the climax. Maybe it was just me, but it was easy to figure out what happened and in my opinion it took the main character a while to figure it out.
With all those parts, I really like the ending though. Overall, I enjoyed the book and think those who like reading about small towns, doctors, and people who care about others, this is a book you may want to check out.
