I heard about this book from an Instagram reel that said “read these books if you want to cry.” And it did not disappoint. The ending. Have tissues handy.

I adore this book. It's so heartbreaking, but beautiful.

It's hard to say whether I should recommend it, simply because it's so heavy and has a lot of brokenness involved, but I have to admit that it's one of my favorite books. So...yeah.
