I have to take note, especially with the beginning and last parts, where an introductory and ending phase speak of a story about a girl and a boy, like "Once upon a time." It was lovely and memorable. I'm quite satisfied throughout the reading progress as the way it emits and affects emotions really makes you stirred up inside. It amassed plenty of plot twists that continually thickened until that kind of hunger was depleted and finally contentment snuck in gradually.
