Sony and Cœur, I fucking bow down to you.
I've seen reviews of people crying throughout the book but for me, it was fast and hard. Cried about 8 times in the last 150 pages. I regret nothing.
I was a bit sceptical about the ending - that plot twist didn't really sit right with me. All the same, it was a beautiful read. In love with the writing style. I read this a lot slower than I normally read because I actually had to take time to think about the deeper meaning of every other sentence.
If nothing else, live out of spite.
normally don't add content warnings but this one really had the need for them. a very loaded book but it deals with all of them well.
