great book, i really liked it, but just dwel on this for a moment:
he's 15, she's 13/14.
(timeskip)
he's 19, she's 17.
i have no doubt that they do care about each other and their relationship is real but i just cringe when i think about it.

Wow this book is excellent. It would be 5 stars but it took me a minute to warm up and get into the book. But the concept of two best friends, on opposite sides, falling in love, it’s a tale as old as time. It felt like enslavement and north Ireland mixed together and a resistance was thrown in. The ending is unbelievable and excellent. Read it just for the last paragraph!
