One of those books that leave you feeling empty after reading. I’m sitting here typing this review but I’m also still reeling from reading this.

such an amazing book. i had to read this for my AP lit class and i’ve never had a book make me react the way i did when i read this through. i personally love almost every character, except for a few just due to the fact that they were most likely made to be hated. i’ve never really read such a real and emotionally heavy book, but i’m so glad that the kite runner is my first. it has given me such a high expectation for the books i read in the future!
