I can't believe this book as been sitting on my shelf for so long, I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of it. I can't recommend this book enough to every single person I meet, because honestly it would takes a thousand years to give you all my thought on this book.

But it's just so well written and heart retching that I think half my thoughts on this book would just be tears and sobs. 

I would also like to say while this book does not go into very graphic detail of certain things mentioned in the content warnings I still warn you it's better to be safe then sorry. And just not risk reading or even listening to this book if you think you could be heavily triggered by anything in this book.

 this book left me speechless, I found myself in both Charlie and Blue,I was so attached to both the characters and the actual book.
it was my FIRST book that I couldn't put down in a long time, I had it everywhere with me.
it got me so broken.
I just finished it and I feel, I feel weird, I feel so numb.
everything was finished, with no unanswered questions at the end, no doubts, no plot twist to leave you in suspense.
I just felt empty, but not empty of feeling, just empty like you feel when you get attached to something, and then you don't have it anymore, that empty.
but I loved every page, chapter, author's note, everything.

the way Kathleen wrote everything made me realize that you know what,I am not the only one struggling, but there are hundreds, thousands, whatever, loads of people struggling. it just made me so happy to see that I can relate SO MUCH to other people as well.

I would give anything to read it for the first time again.
