Water for Elephants

No exaggeration, I think I cried about 10 seperate times reading this book, it's something about old people that really gets the waterworks going, especially lonely, forgotten, old people.

I really truly loved this book so much, everything about it was so utterly amazing. Gruen wrote so beautifully and I cared about all the characters so much, they all had such personalities and really came to life. The pacing was good and I unusually enjoyed the flashbacks between Jacob's circus days and him being in the nursing home. I was apprehensive about the ending, I was expecting to be heartbroken but I'm so glad that it was tied up into a happy ending for Jacob.
