Never has a book so utterly and completely shattered my heart. I simultaneously want to recommend this book to everyone capable of handling it, while also burying it deep inside a safe cushioned capsule where nothing bad will happen to the characters ever again.

This book is devastating yet beautiful. I wouldn't recommend it but I loved it. I don't think this book is meant to be enjoyed but, suffered through. Brilliantly written.
