I loved this book! But I am a psychologist, and I would hesitate to recommend it to anyone I thought might have serious suicidal ideation, due to discussions around methods.

4.5

 I didn't expect much from this book, but damn it surprised me how much I started to care for these characters. The story and flow were beautiful, and it filled my heart. The twist was a little less than expected and I loved the end that's why I give it 4,5/5
Even shed a few tears of happiness for some in the end :)

Pretty cute. Very sweet most the time. Unfortunately, the story is pretty forgettable. Maybe that's ironic.

I didn't like her decision to get back with her husband. Just seemed regressive. But hey, what do I know about the minds of heterosexuals?

If it becomes a movie, though, I will be watching from the comfort of my couch.
