It feels wrong to say I really enjoyed the book given the main topic the book centres around, but I did.
This book really toyed with my emotions and had me on the rollercoaster with Lily. I felt the way the book was written, explaining things aren't always easy or black and white but in fact it is possible to feel love and hate and other emotional extremes concurrently and that they aren't mutually exclusive really got me thinking (and sobbing).
To anyone that needs to hear this - just keep swimming!
