5.0

This was an amazing book. It was told in the perfect way in the character development was great too.

  The ending though? I did NOT see that coming. I knew it was supposed to be a sad book, but it still took me a surprise.<spoiler/> The ending was nicely bittersweet too. It was a great story about second chances. And as the book only has nine chapters, I think the author did that on purpose, just to show that life never always finishes where it’s expected to.

Small book, huge impact. 
I read this book in less than two hours in the middle of the night (Jetlag) and thoroughly enjoyed it. Will devour this book again and again. 
You know, you kinda know what’s coming in the end. Still, I was not prepared. Definitely needed a good cry. 
What I especially admire about this book it that it acknowledges issues and still forgives. The past is the past. Second chances exist and people can heal.

Omg , indication of what a safe space and nurture can do to change a life. Heartbreaking how circumstances can alter someone’s life so drastically to which they don’t deserve. Ending was shocking but the very end was so sentimental. If you like perks of being a wallflower I think you may like this .
