** spoiler alert ** I was conflicted on how to review this one. In general, I found many passages where not much happened, horses were ridden out and ridden back, meals were made, eaten and cleared, etc. I also thought a lot of smiling went on--though there was certainly some large conflicts, much of the day-to-day of the novel went on a bit too smoothly for me. The big exception was Aunt Janelle, the "primo bitch," whom I also wanted to see some more depth from. Finally, the major life changes for Geoff and Eli (from two extremes to meet in the middle) occurred a bit too suddenly and easily for me. These were major life changes for both of them and they seem to slide into them as easily as they slid into each other. The redeeming quality for me was the connection between the love of Geoff's two dads for each other to the love Geoff and Eli shared, particularly in the advice from Geoff's friend Raine, to live one day at a time--not to fear a love that may not last. And this ultimately made the ending unsatisfactory for me, we should not always expect happy endings, but live as if each day with the one we love is a gift and more than we deserve. The rest, as they say, is gravy.

Very easy to read and follow the instructions. Great book for the new crocheter, or as a class book for a crochet class. I like that it is written so you can skip around! Cool and easy projects included to make this even more of an interesting book.

One of my fav's from Middle School!
