Lancali is going to go so far with her writing, I can tell. This was a beautifully done story. Though the writing style is not what I typically gravitate to, I can appreciate the beautiful, poetic themes and how well it works with the story she is telling. Her final note really hit me, and I'm grateful that I got to read something so close and personal to someone. It's an honor to be let into someone's life and emotions in that way.

I cried my eyes out in the first chapter and it didn't get much better after that, but I still recommend this to everyone.
I loved the writing style even if there were a few little things I didn't think logical, but in the end they don't matter, because the story and its characters, which I fell in love with, are just so much bigger. 
I especially loved the story's resolution, it was an answer to all the questions asked through out this book and it gave me reason. 
Maybe the story wasn't perfect but it was beautiful and it was raw and I don't believe that words can express how much this books means to me. It wasn't about a hero/heroine, it was about all the questions I asked myself so many times and it's another book that gave me answers. 
Before reading, though, you definitely should check out the content/trigger warnings.
