just realized i put the review for a different book than this one in here but whatever.
1000000/5 stars
in my probably 13 years of reading, i do not have any memory of crying over a book and definitely not as i was reading it. but thanks to this book, that’s not true anymore! there was a whole chapter near the end where i just had my shirt stuffed up my nostrils because i couldn’t stop my nose from running; then a couple pages later i had to stop reading for 30 seconds because i couldn’t see the words through my literal tears. then at the very end i watched teardrops fall from my face onto my bed. i didn’t even realize i was crying. this book has WRECKED me. highly recommend
