Also the writing was amazing and gorgeous, there was a plethora of characters to love and despise, the plot and pacing were good albeit too painful to read without frequent stops/cry sessions.
Read the trigger warnings first!

4.75
The representation made feel so safe and so seen, yet also torn because I knew the life of Silas was not far from the reality of what people like us have gone through. And what many continue to go through.
The side characters of the story effected me much more than I thought they would. And the romance. God. I think it's the first book I've ever read where the romance reflects so closely on my own romance with my partner.
So all in all: a terribly heartbreaking and wonderfully good book. On my list of books I want to buy. Either a 4.5 or a 5, so I levelled it out at 4.75.
