mixed feelings about this one. struggled through the first third of the book, was really invested by the second third, but not totally satisfied with the ending. pacing could’ve been better, was way too slow at some parts and too fast at others. 
overall, enjoyable and pulls at the heart strings.

I liked the story's writing and general premise, but the ending disappointed me. It was a bit too much about giving oneself up for someone else. Although the author probably tried to reduce it with the last few pages by framing it as a strategic choice, it was not really believable to me. But this might also be cause I could not really bond with the characters.
