Wow—Jude’s story is so deep and affecting. Author Hanya is so skilled at creating character events that simmer so craftily and erupt so naturally. You just don’t feel she’s “creating” anything at all. Jude is a *deepest* character study—so so beautifully wrapped around surrounding characters’ lives. Really, no one is given short shrift. Can’t stop reading—I’m living in this world. Hypnotic.

So much emotion and description—and pain and happiness. This author is wise, warm—and so skillful at creating a world of real people who in so many ways you desperately want to know and have in your life (and are equally nervous you might not be able to handle it).

Author continues to check in with specific characters with a fullness of details and events at certain periods of their lives. The first 200 pages was as a group, but even the next 100 followed certain people and reconnected the group at times. Great check-ins, much like real life, at least like living in NYC. Especially college friends. Really keep in touch--but. It can be period-intensive on-off-but-always-in-memory-and-heart. I continue to be amazed at the depth of the heart notes Hanya continuously hits. A signature author I will follow book to book. Such wisdom of the heart.
