Tahereh Mafi has truly some of the most beautiful and heartbreaking prose I have ever read. I was holding onto every word in this story. This book was HEAVY but I couldn’t put it down. I was so invested in the characters. It wrecked me in the best possible way, and I don’t think I will soon forget this book and the world it showed me.
