And even after that pain, I experienced from this book end... I still can't believe that human beings can be so cruel. That is why I hurt again and again my heart thinking that she WAS capable of love and she loved, with all her heart and that every breath she took was for them.
I always do this, YKNW?
I tried to see light, even when there is no chance in dark, that she exists. I still fight my every single breath, heartbeat, my life being to bring the light. Because I'm just not capable to accept that person CAN be bad just from himself. There is always more to the story: parents who fucked up a young kid or tragedy that breaks even the strongest. So for me, no villain is entirely villain.
And I feel bad, I want to rip my heart as this book did, but I feel bad even for the villain from this book. And it's horrible, I can't forgive myself for that.
But again, it would be true if I didn't take a light side of the story, and believed that the villain was just a character from a VERY messed up imagination.
I could put this book down and I read her so fast as I had never done other book. I was addicted, I was shocked, horrified and sometimes I had to put this book down just to place through, but it didn't last long, because she was a drug, she was bad in so many ways, the relationships were toxic, the characters lied, but damn. It did something...
Also, I loved little love moments and it gives me butterflies just from looks...to make this strong connection between characters is not easy. It amazed me how much love can be it these glances and you don't even need touch. I believe one character from this book would not agree with me, because to her touch was the only word of love.
Book is good when you are done reading and can't forget her, she is good when she takes emotions from you, she is good when in the end when you are on the last page and read the words "The end" you feel numb because she ended.
This book ripped my heart and stepped on her with disgust. It hurt, but it made me laugh. I think I'm broken just like this book. Before and even more after.
And its power, you know, to create a fake world that would look more real than the one where you live... She is powerful.
Without further discussion or explanation, she gets 5⭐.
