started this book back in march, and finally got around to it in july. when i made it to part four i felt the book was so dragged on that it made me drop the book for almost 5 months, but now reflecting i feel like it was the right place that i stopped reading, because i was met with overwhelming and melancholic segments that made me finally finish this book, all in one sitting. there were many parts that my heart just started aching and couldn't stop. i love how we were given little hints throughout the book for us to figure out as readers how the book's world operates and the limited knowledge we have since we are entering this world through klara's memories.
