This book was everything. I loved that it followed 4 different character stories- yet they all connected back at one point or another. So when the book was done, it felt done. It got so emotional at times, and really hit me in the heart. omg and not to mention the style of writing, so digestible, so understandable, I loved it. Only thing I can say is that due to the quick way the story is written, emotional moments never lingered. It happened, it hurt, we quickly moved on with our pain. But perhaps for some that's a good thing. This book will stick with me for sure, definitely gonna keep thinking about it and pick up the second book one day :)
