It’s been a couple months since I’ve read this book and I sincerely cannot stop thinking about it. I’m considering a second read through but honestly not sure if I should put myself through that. One of the most well written books I’ve read, completely devastating, yet I couldn’t put it down.

Only advice I have is to make sure you wash your face after you put the book down- apparently the salt in your tears can burn your skin. Who knew ?!
