Such a marvelous piece of literature, I haven’t recovered and I fear that I won’t ever recover from how the story transpired. I love it and I hate it (the fact that the ending was very raw and real, and that in itself irks because it shows us how the world truly is like) at the same time. Such profound messages will surely strike you early on and it  mirrors the real world and its prejudices very well.

It is quite dense but I found myself reading through certain parts swiftly; the story just draws you in and keeps you wanting for more. 

I am both in awe and heartbroken but even so (and because of that), I took away so much awareness, knowledge and realizations from this. I will forever hold this close to my heart.
