okuduğum en güzel kitaplar listesine adını altın harflerle kazıdı. hiç bu kadar sarsılmamış ve hayal kırıklığına uğramamıştım. her şeyin mutlu bitmesini çok isterdim ama bu jude için fazla umut dolu olurdu. seni çok seviyorum jude.

I started this book with a healthy mental state and ended it with a relapse of my depression. I love the characters but absolutely hate what happens to them, and I loathe the author for their intention with the story. Overall, I’m not asking for a happily ever after, I wanted justification (though I guess that was her point). The writing is amazing and I enjoyed it, but the scenes at times were just too much— which was the point exactly.
