one of the easiest 5 stars i have ever given. beautiful, devastating, and bittersweet all tied up in one. i wished the very happiest of lives for every main character and loved understanding each of them deeply. it was difficult to read at some points because it forces you to confront the dark and despicable things that humans are capable of that we usually turn a blind eye towards, which is exactly what the author wants. absolutely gorgeous novel.

My rating is 4.75 because it wasn't perfect, but im rounding up.

This book is not for everyone and please check the warnings first. Still, I found the story hopeful and extremely emotional. I still feel like I'm going to cry. I love Jordan so much and wanted the best for him and to give him a big hug and never let a bad thing happen to him ever again
