Heartbreaking, gut-wrenching, but hopeful and spirited. Worst and best story I’ve ever read at the same time.
Broke my heart then made me proud.

It’s a work of art in my opinion but I would never ever read it again.

3.5

this story was beautiful. the story of the main character was heartbreaking to follow. 
wasn’t a fan of the writing style. no chapter titles, and no quotation marks for when someone is speaking. also, scenes often felt unfinished, like being left hanging without resolve. didn’t particularly enjoy that chapters often skipped months or years ahead, and sometimes it took a while of confusion to figure it out. 
overall i did really enjoy it and was quick to read. the ending was hopeful, even though it felt incomplete, it also felt realistic.
