5.0

This book broke my heart and mended it in one go. I had to read this with time because it is just so sad and challenging. It’s a very impressive read. Very underrated. Also gave a satisfying ending which almost never happens. I had highlighted so many parts that stuck with me. I need to get a hard copy so I can annotate more. Some quotes I loved below: 

“There’s such a great big world out there, so many different types of people, so many ways to live and be, you realize there’s no right or wrong way.” 

“Yet from the depths of her sadness, something unfolded and stretched towards the light.”

“I didn’t know that a heart could break and break and keep on breaking while leaving you alive.”

“.. it’s important to weigh situations for yourself and not just follow the herd.” 

Side note: I couldn’t find an isbn for the digital version of this book so I picked this one. It wouldn’t let me manually upload one either :/ 

Another side note: if any of the books I read don’t have a format it’s most likely digital
