The characters are so well fleshed out. I feel like I know them as friends.
Jude St Francis will stay will me for a very very long time.

Not a lot of books have made me cry. I sobbed for probably the last 50 or 60 pages of this one. I know some of the emotions Jude felt, though my life has been so different from mine.
That’s the core of what I love about this book. Every single one of the characters feels so intensely human that the reader can identify with them somehow.
I hope most people don’t identify with Jude, though.
What to even say about Jude’s character? I loved him. I loved watching him grow, and try, and love. I loved watching him stay especially close with Willem. I loved rooting for him. My heart aches for him.
Above all, that’s the power of this book. It will break your heart. Fully and completely. You will undoubtedly ache. You will be reminded of your humanity. And that is beautiful.
