This is Brashares' first adult fiction novel. She handles it as well as she did The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants series. I think better.

The characters are so real, so tangible, so lovely that I wanted to join the story with them and live life with them. I wanted to have sex with Paul, too. Haha. It was amazingly well done, and this book has been a major source of inspiration ever since I read it. I admire her even more now.

The day, which was one of the first of spring, cheered even me by the loveliness of its sunshine and the balminess of the air. I felt emotions of gentleness and pleasure, that had long appeared dead, revive within me. Half surprised by the novelty of these sensations, I allowed myself to be borne away by them, and forgetting my solitude and deformity, dared to be happy.
