This probably wasn’t the best choice of book right now but I’m very glad I did read it. This is quite a heavy book in my opinion but that’s probably because I read a lot of lighthearted contemporary stories in comparison. The writing and the story were really just good, I don’t know how else to explain it, but sometimes put me on edge in a way I don’t know how to feel about. I think this is still a really good book though and I recommend it :)
