    "Nothing is lighter than being young with the world on your shoulders; it gives you a feeling of possibility so seductive..."

  • Would Recommend but Not Necessarily Re-read

  • The book started out great and was able to exclusively hold my attention for the first 3/4, but they were not able to succintly close the deal. It ended up dragging quite an unfortunate bit the last 1/4.
