i don't usually write reviews... but this absolutely shocked me. i NEVER cry reading books. NEVER. i found myself crying when the characters got into a little discussion. i was THAT invested in them.
i started reading this because out of nowhere i saw someone saying that this book was worth reading 800 pages of a contemporary romance and that is a BIG statement to make (and i LOVE long books) and i confirm: it was SO worth it. every sentence i read i kept thinking "damn, im so glad this is a long book, im enjoying myself so much i don't want this to end" i just want to see ALL (ok... not all... only the good ones) characters of this book to be happy. i would die for every single one of them.
i LOVED the side characters. if a story has good side characters it scores so many points for me! and this one did it BRILLIANTLY.
i don't think i've ever highlighted a book this much. i have NO WORDS. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
p.s: if anyone reads this and decides to try this book look up trigger warnings. it's very triggering and very graphic at some points!
