Wow, god did I cry. I cried so many times even before the end. Then I sobbed. My goodness, what an emotional rollercoaster that was. Feel like I need a stiff drink now!

This one took me a while to get into but oh my, what a read!

There are few characters that I have come across that I hate as much as Julius but thankfully everyone else is so lovable. 

This book touches on some tough subjects so be warned, and it will absolutely break your heart.

One thing that irked me was the way the speech was written how it would be said in a regional accent rather that properly.

I wasn't a fan of this writing style as a whole - although I really loved some lines - and generally I don't think this book was my cup of tea. I found it kind of scattered and strange, pacing wise, but I did enjoy the characters and the ending.
