I am so sorry but this book was just too painful to read through but I do have to say, what I like abt Khaled Housseini’s writing is that it is satisfyingly tolerable

This book is so sad omg. There needs to be more content warnings for this whole book. I did like it though, the characters were good and I felt i understood their thoughts and motivations for most of the book. That dad can rot and I hope he does.
