There a truly no words I could ever write that would accurately describe how I feel after reading this.
What a read.
What an emotional journey.

This book broke me and it's a trauma I'm not ready to talk about.

o jezu, ciężka książka
fabuła przybiera tempa po ok. 300 ale potem nie zwalnia już do samego końca
jest przytłaczająca, czasami nieprzyjemna i mroczna, ale bez obaw, istnieją też momenty szczęścia i radości, choć moim zdaniem nieliczne
prawda o życiu, o ludziach, przyjaźniach, miłości, bólu, cierpieniu etc.
opisuje wszystko to co ludzkie i prawdziwe, choć momentami książka wydaje się w fikcją, przez to jakie wydarzenia przedstawia
wydaje mi się, że sięgnę po nią drugi raz, bo w pełni nie udało mi się jej przyswoić, ale nastąpi to chyba za jakiś czas
+ pierwszy raz podczas czytania książki czułam potrzebę odznaczenia lub podkreślenia cytatów, więc może to coś o niej znaczy, idk
++ były momenty, że musiałam ją odłożyć i do końca dnia jej nie dotykać, bo musiałam przetrawić to co właśnie przeczytałam
