I saw this one girl on tiktok saying one should not pick up this book and should rather experience joy because this book series is literally gonna mess with one’s emotions and there are so many ”joyful“ books out there…
Well I agree! This entire series ripped my heart, brain and soul apart and then tried to plaster the pieces back together. If you can’t stand frustration, hard-emotional-breakdowns as well as anger, disappointment and disgust all at once don’t pick up this series. If you can, I’ll gladly welcome you to this new chapter of your life. I promise you’ll be a different person after reading this!
