saw this book on the shelves while on vacation and had heard good things but i wasn’t sure i would like it. the store was closing so i ended up buying it on a whim or a panic, not sure. ended up binge reading it at work when i got back and crying on my break. the whole thing broke my heart a little bit.
the way of writing, the language and the characters had me in love and i wish i could keep reading more. it is one of my favourites now.
