I know they can’t all have a happy ending but I was absolutely devastated by a particular major character’s ending and I felt like it was an injustice to the story as a whole 😞

This book has caused me emotional damage, I know I will think about it forever. It is so beautiful and amazing, but tragic and heart breaking. My emotions were all over the spectrum and jumped frequently. It was so inspiring, it makes you want to be more courageous and strong. I will read again when I am ready.
