I had to read this book for school and I decided to get ahead my schedule, but I just couldn't put it down and read it in one sitting.
The writing was so beautiful and the story itself was just perfect.
(The ending did break my heart into million pieces though)

Reading this was a bit like reading those “cancer kid books” from the 90’s. You spend the entire book waiting for bombs to drop, and twists to happen.
Overall, I would say this book was predictable in the way that all such books are. But it was also educational, and surprisingly full of lightness when a reader could easily expect wall-to-walk melancholy.
