Wow this is a hard hitting book. The writing has some really really beautiful lines that I've highted to write down. It became a little 'manic pixie dream girl' towards the middle (Im not too sure that speech would've got them free tattoos but hey) and it took me a while to warm to Hikari because of that, but the second half is really tormentingly mesmerising. I couldn't tear my eyes away even when I knew what was coming. These characters had been built up so much that just a single word chapter title like 'wings' or 'music' told you exactly what was going to happen to who next. Neo has my heart and I love the concept of Sam, I would have even liked that to have been played into more. I like that she kept the illness vague like she said she would in the foreword, because that stopped the reading experience being about trying to diagnose the characters with irl diseases, and made it about them as personalities. The after word is heartbreaking. Major TW warnings so check the foreward.

i did take a three week break in the middle of reading this so i don’t think i got the full experience of reading this book in full but a bitch made me cry and not a lot of books do that so i’m giving high scores for that and the gorgeous writing

This book made me cry more than any book before. Every word was so beautifully tragic and perfect, I knew it was going to be a five star read by only the first line. The parallels in this book are stunning and so sad at the same time. Read this. Read this now.
