This book was a rollercoaster. Thought the start to like the last 100 pages was normal a little unhinged but fine but then the last 100 pages was just blood sweat and tears I was literally crying like a baby. I love this book so much

This book really had me thinking. I was finding it hard to get though and I found myself picking up others but it was amazing and its beautiful and it gives you all the emotions that you can feel with something like this

A friend recommended this to me and I know this is supposed to be that way but I just didn’t like it and I got into in the middle but it lost me at the ending and I just didn’t feel like it fit my vibe, im just surprised it didn’t make it on my dnf books
