Oh. My. God. This book! Too good. So sad though. Like, very depressing but very amazing. I loved the characters, everything! Especially Dol. I really related to her, being left out and second option all the time. But I'm glad it had a happy ending because it was an emotional rollercoaster that's for sure.
