Wow, this one hurt...
I didn't really know what to expect from this book going in. I'll admit, the story was a bit slow for me in the beginning because I didn't know what was happening or the direction. However, once I was invested, it was hard not to think about this book.
This was such a devastatingly beautiful book to read. I have so many conflicting emotions for the story and the characters, it's hard for me to make a reasonable critique of the work. I will say though, the work was absolutely well written and had a strong impact on me. I'm only knocking it .25 stars because I do think there were a couple things I thought didn't need to be included. Regardless, a wonderful read and powerful.
