OK SO I WAS GOING TO ONLY GIVE THIS BOOK FOUR STARS CAUSE I WASNT FEELING IT REALLY TOWARDS THE END BUT WHEN I GOT TO THE LAST FEW PAGES I WAS IN TEARS SOBBED ON MY PAGES GOD MY BOOK HAS TEARS STAINS IN IT AND MY FACE HURT AFTER SOBBING GOD.

anyway, any book that can make me cry

(mostly cause i felt so attached to these characters and their ending was depressing)

deserves 5 stars imp.

this book was really really slow paced, and it wasn’t for me but the writing was very good. the plot was okay…  but 4/5 through the book and still in my mind i was like “has anything even happened yet??” maybe it was the skill of the author slyly sliding in progress or actually nothing has happened yet. and the plot twist… the plot twist was over a few pages unlike the majority of books where it occurs in one sentence. that kind of killed it for me but it was also cool when i went back to check foreshadowing and it was apparent! i dont know why but I didnt pick up on those hints. overall, okay plot, could be executed better. i do think the messages in it are important i just didnt like the way it was delivered to us

Though the book was very challenging, this is by far one of the greatest things I've ever read. The plot is super captivating and the characters are mostly relatable. I wouldn't recomend the book to anyone who gets confused easily in plots that have very frequent flash backs and often metaphorical writing, but if you can handle those things you'll love this book. It have a very dark tone to it and a plot twist at the end that will completely surprise you.
