This has to be one of the most beautiful books I’ve ever read. I felt my own personal grief understood in these pages.

Beautiful book. It has affected me so much. I don’t think everyone would love it as much as i did because it was exactly what I needed these past few days! But still a great book nonetheless. There are some quotes in here that will stick with me forever- I know it. 
All love to the author! I will read their other book very soon.

This book will truly stay with me. Beautiful, sweet, sad and haunting. Very much about love, which this book captured perfectly. The only thing keeping it from being a five is that I feel one element lacks clarity in a way that hurt the story just a little bit. Still, a beautiful read.
