Jedna z najcudowniejszych książek życia. Refleksyjna i smutna.

Entering my reviews over from my old Goodreads profile I unearthed recently...here are some super sappy thoughts from 2009-era 14-year-old Claire!

This book is so heartbreaking because the protagonist's intelligence soars and then falls. There is hope, and then there is darkness.
