I first heard about this book when my homeroom teacher started reading it to my class when i was eleven. The teacher never finished it so I bought it for myself and read it, and since that day I've always said this is my favourite book. To this day this book brings me to tears whenever I read it. Looking for an easy to read, yet heartbreaking and deeply impactful book? This is it.
Spoiler
This book will bring you a sense of comfort, only to rip it away and leave you hurt, but it does it in the most amazing way.
