this book is going to stay with me for a long, long time. the characters were so beautifully crafted and you really got to grips with them and why their relationships with the other characters made sense and the emotional impact of it all. it really highlighted for me just how lucky i am and how much i have been taking that for granted. you really suffer with the characters but also in their moments of happiness rejoice with them. absolutely heartbreaking. highly recommend.
