Complex, endearing characters

As usual Butler's characters are vivid and engaging, but I also found myself rooting for them through their faults and foibles. The story outlined moral complexities which are so very human. Thank you so much for the reading!

Cutest most American story ever! Kept me going until the very end. I wish I could hear what happened after this "happily ever after" though.
this was cute
