This book was everything to me. I got so attached to the characters, I loved every second of this book. 

This book made me happy, made me laugh at times but it shattered my heart. I didn’t think a book could destroy me the way this one did. 

<the ending, I couldn’t stop crying. The way she grieved at the end broke my heart even more> 

I loved this book so much but I don’t think I’ll ever reread it. I feel like it won’t be the same and I can’t put my poor heart through that again. 

I loved every second of this book and would highly recommend it to anyone
