A Very Large Expanse of Sea

I thought I was going to give this three stars but had to give it four from the sheer fact that I could not put this book down at all.
I think it took me longer to warm to the narrator than intended, but that's just a personal thing. I spent a lot of the book questioning whether I was actually enjoying the experience or not but by the second half I was so invested and my perception of the whole thing was totally flipped.
I love these characters very much, and I love the heartache they gave me. It's such a raw story and true to real life and I think that's where it hit me and so many other people the most.
