This book was: impressive, excellent, traumatic (OH YES), heartwarming and yet so many adjectives to add.
 

It destroyed and comforted me at the same time. I've felt more emotions than I feel in a daily basis. 

My fav quote is a classic one, but for a good reason so i'm just going to write it: «And so I try to be kind to everything ! see, and in everything I see, I see him.» by Harold <3

I love you: Jude, Willem, Ana, Harold, Andy, Malcolm & Julia!

Torture porn. Only got through half of it. I was trying to push through but the constant trauma inflicted on Jude throughout the book was making me sick. The imagery was so thoroughly described that I had to read it all alone so that I could gag and cringe. It does not get better for him. Do not recommend.
