walk the beat

I need a moment... 10 minutes laterI am absolutely, positively emotionally spent. I have a headache from crying. I'm finding it hard to articulate what I'm feeling without spoilers, so bear with me. I was fortunate enough to stay away from any spoilers so, thankfully, I didn't know what I was getting myself into. I was so caught up in this love story, but I almost jumped ship at the end from fear of drowning in my own tears. Jumped ship to keep from drowning? I know it's ironic, but I told you to bear with me. It was touch and go for a minute there, guys. My sanity was at stake. I can't break it down without laying it all out there so I'll keep it short and sweet. I get why everyone raves about this book. I'm glad I finally took the leap and read it, even if my sinuses are wishing I had chosen a lighter read. Just FYI: Have a box of tissues handy before you sit down with this one, but do yourselves a favor and add it to or move it up on your TBR list.
