review 1: I loved this book. Alice Bliss seems so real to me, with all of her adolescent struggles on top of the biggest challenge: her father going off to war in Iraq. The story is beautifully written, the plot enthralling. As evidence of how good it is: this book was chosen as a “People Pick” by People Magazine, a “Listeners’ Top Book Pick” by NPR’s On Point with Tom Ashbrook, for the Barnes & Noble’s “Discover Great New Writers” program, as an Entertainment Weekly "Best Reads of the Summer," as a Publishers Weekly First Fiction title, and the winner of the Massachusetts Book Award in Fiction in 2012.
review 2: I wish I could give it 4.5 stars as I rarely give a book 5 starts. Generally my 5 star criteria is that I want to own a print copy, keep it o... moren my bookshelf, and read it again sometime. This is a truly moving story that takes you. It just takes you into the story and into the heart of Alice. Honestly, I cried. I stayed up late to read this book. And while I might not ever read it again, I would recommend it to others. It is a good story and the subject matter is intense, the characters real, and I appreciate and feel the angst and love of this family. less
