“I wanted to cry because I didn’t understand how a world so beautiful could also harbor so much pain”. Oh God, this book was devastatingly beautiful. It broke my heart and made it feel full at the same time. The writing? 10/10. There’s so much more meaning in this book that wasn’t written on the pages. Officially my favorite book I ever read. Please read it, you won’t regret.
