Going back and trying to fill in some reviews of books that I read just for fun. This is one of those! I'm a Stephen King addict, and I don't care who knows it. I also make no apologies for the fact that, despite the fact that this book isn't horror, I actually really loved it. If there's one thing that King is excellent at, it's writing characters that are vivid. I've yet to read one of his books where, whether I like the story ultimately or not, I don't feel deeply for whatever characters are inside of it. Scott Carey was no exception. This man, oh this man. He cracked my heart, and made it soar, and then smashed it into fifteen million pieces at the ending. This story is somehow so uplifting, and so terribly sad all at the same time.

To quote the cool kids, I had ALL THE FEELS. I loved it.
