5.0

ספר די קשה, יש בו המון טריגרים. מצד שני הוא כתוב בצורה ככ יפה והוא מדבר על דברים חשובים ועמוקים. התחברתי מאוד לדמויות וזה ספר חובה בעיניי

One of the most compelling, beautifully written, intense books I've read in a long time. I cried many times, both because of the goodness and the incredibly bad things. Maybe I loved it most because it's the most beautiful story about true friendship and the immense love friends can have for each other.

i tried so hard to not read this book. to never pick it up. i couldnt :). and now after finishing it i feel so empty from inside. i cried a lot while reading the last 3 chapters. i cried at the ending of it. and now i wanna cry again at the thought that i cant read more of it because i finished it but there are no more tears left in me. i would be sobbing on the floor right now if i could get my tears to form. but alas. i cant in good conscience recommend this to anyone because i think no one should ever read this book. if you decide to read it still just know that when people were telling you it’s heavy and were crying on the internet because of it, it wasnt a marketing strategy.
