I cannot stop thinking about this book. I sobbed so hard. And I thought I finally got over it and then I saw someone’s fanart of the characters and just looking at them made me start crying uncontrollably again. Like I feel so much for these characters oh my god. My heart hurts so much as if they’re real people. 
If someone asked me to explain this book I wouldn’t be able to do it without immediate tears.
