I haven't read this book in a decade and it hurts just as much now as it did then. It's a beautiful, heart-wrenching, gut-punch of a story.

It isn't a happy ending, it just is.

Cheesy. Like written in 2013. One of the few books to make me cry my eyes out.

How can a book be written so badly? 
So boring and meaningless that it's unbelievable
