WOW. This book has left me speechless. I almost DNF’ed this book around page 50-60, but then I was completely sucked in. The character writing is incredible, and they feel undeniably like real people. What a story. There were so many stories all wrapped up in one, and the way it was told was beautiful. This is a read I’ll never forget. There were so many beautiful sentences, the writing is impeccable.
