I adore this book. It's so heartbreaking, but beautiful.

It's hard to say whether I should recommend it, simply because it's so heavy and has a lot of brokenness involved, but I have to admit that it's one of my favorite books. So...yeah.

Mature and serious situations dealt with insight, empathy and love. Read this in one sitting and cry.
