You're caught up in the whirlwind itself reaching out your arms to hug your feelings tighter hoping they won't up and fly away. If you want to read a story of compelling love, hopeless lust, and in the end getting exactly what you deserve I undoubtedly recommend it! Sara has a way of pulling at your heart strings like a mere puppet.
Jacob looks back into his life where prohibition reigned and a dollar was worth it's weight in gold. The characters in this book are absolutely ones you will miss when you're done and you don't want to leave your imagination. It simply sucks you in like a torrential whirlwind of emotion.
I will say it's not exactly appropriate for the younger crowd. There is adult language and adult situations. I myself could barely stand the animal abuse that takes place but it made the story that much more vivid, touching, and storming with bubbling emotion. I hate August with a passion and love Marlena and Rosie dearly as if they were my best friends. But all in all the characters throughout the entirety of the book were put together very well and stayed true, I feel, to what Sara created them to be from the very beginning.
And in the back of my book there's an extra, an interview with Sara. Although I skimmed through it (I wasn't too big on reading it at the moment) one question caught my eye where she explained why she likes writing characters that are flawed....
I think it's what brings them to life and really draws you in... aren't we all looking for people we can level with, that in some sense or another there is a small glitter of an event(s) within your lives that connect you. Stories are just that, they connect you with characters, fictional or real. Now I just want to go back and live in my imagination for awhile longer with Rosie, Marlena, and Jacob! I hope you guys will give it a go.
