Where do I begin, this book was rated so high I had to see what all the commotion was about. When I first started reading this book I was slightly confused, but then again when it comes to reading it is easy to confuse me because I find my self skimming words to get to (in my mind) a "good part" or to avoid an "uncomfortable" part in a book. I did catch myself doing that with this book, but only because I was so anxious to find out what happens. First off I don't even know how to put a book like this into words, it was brilliantly written. It hit life on the head, it was able to put into words what most people think but are too afraid to say out loud.
I absolutely loved it, I loved it because it was so emotionally disturbing and yet so thralling at the same time. It was in so way shape or form was it physically sensual, but it was emotionally and I couldn't put it down! It was so simple and sweet, I wish she had more books!

This is hands down one of the best love stories I have read, ever!! Often times when all the bloggers are raving about a book, I read it, only to suffer a huge let down. I skimmed over the the synopsis before I started, but didn't know what to expect about the book .From the beginning, I was sucked in to the sad and lonely world of Nastya and Josh. My heart ached for two people that had endured so much loss and tragedy. Yes, most of the book is sad and a bit depressing. However, once I was finished, I wanted to smack myself for not having read this book earlier :-)



while reading it i LOVED IT, but looking back i had quite a few problems with it. but i couldnt give it less than 4, tbh

I literally have no words. I absolutely loved this book. I literally couldn’t put it down.

I don't really know if I like it or not... Like I really like the idea but I'm in no mood/place to say weather this was good or bad because lately I haven't been wanting to read in general but I was still able to finish this book dispite not wanting to read at all... Its a very "3atalan" book and um... I like the sadness.. I like sad books and this sadness doesn't hit close to home alhamdulilah so I'm abke to read it unlike making friends with the dark so... I might reread this maybe? I don't really know
