Read. This. Book. 

There were times I didn't want to keep reading it because I didn't want to be sad, but I also needed to keep reading it because I needed to know how their stories ended.  
It will take me a moment to digest this book because I just finished it, but I haven't had a book make me feel this many feelings in a long time!
