I reserve 5 stars for books I would read again. I would not read this again. It's incredibly sad, to the point that it's not entirely believable. For the majority of the book, I thought I'd give it maybe 3.5 stars and I was wondering what I was missing... So, why does this book have such amazing reviews? The end is really spectacular. It was solidly a 4-star book after reading the end.
