Unexpectedly and beautifully hearbroken


I really didn't want to give it 5 stars (I feel like it deserves a 4.75 ☆ maybe?) but I couldn't. If you're a fan of theatre, drama, mystery, romance, non-expositive dialogues and a little slow burn, this book gives you absolutely nothing to complain, in my opinion. The vibe mixes a little bit of 'The Phantom of The Opera' with 'Dead Poets Society', but bringing all the gothic influence that the author seems to cherish so much. 

I wouldn't be surprised if that book, per chance, ended up being a classic of our time.
