Wonderfully written and a heartbreaking novel. Had me on the edge the entire time, I couldn’t put it down. It’s been a bit since I read it, and if I could read it again for the first time, I would. It does touch on some heavy themes, most of which are pretty self-explanatory, but it does a great job telling them. I recommend this book to anyone looking for a more darker story and are prepared for some angst and grieving with the characters. Though it’s a relatively short time span covered in the book, the writing makes it seem like it takes longer - but in a good way. Love it, and would read it again for the first time if I could!
