One of the most profoundly beautiful and thought-provoking books I have ever read. The emotions felt during this read were unreal, and the storytelling and language used made it even better. I love this book with my entire heart.

This is my favorite book of all time. The writing, the voice of Death, the emotions delivered through the characters’ experiences. So tragic, but beautifully crafted. I wish I could read this for the first time again.
