5.0
one of the easiest 5 stars i have ever given. beautiful, devastating, and bittersweet all tied up in one. i wished the very happiest of lives for every main character and loved understanding each of them deeply. it was difficult to read at some points because it forces you to confront the dark and despicable things that humans are capable of that we usually turn a blind eye towards, which is exactly what the author wants. absolutely gorgeous novel.
