Just so lovely, and broke the record of number of times I cried while reading a book. It was such a nostalgic and magical read, it was heartbreaking in the most normal and everyday way. I kept blubbering my way through descriptions of their dinner, let alone actual emotional plot points. It was written with such a beautiful flow that I found myself lost in it, and I just had so much love for every character. Such a heartfelt, realistic and glorious story!! I'd recommend this to anyone.
Moderate: Death and War
