Chills. when i tell you i had chills reading this book………. ridiculous. amazing. i’m speechless. it’s been a long while since a book has left me feeling this way. the imagery and the personality and just everything about this book had me smiling, laughing, crying, hurting, and feeling so many more emotions.
