this book fucking HURT oh my god 😭 definitely a book with a twist that wasnt necessarily one i didnt see coming, but was one that exceeded my expectations for what exactly it was, and it broke my heart :( also a book that needs a re-read after finishing because everything makes so much more sense now...ugh, this book was so good and so sad :(((
