Pretty much a collection of tragic events. Read it, weep, and learn.

Fave quotes:
“You won’t understand what I mean now, but someday you will: the only trick of friendship, I think, is to find people who are better than you are—not smarter, not cooler, but kinder, and more generous, and more forgiving—and then to appreciate them for what they can teach you, and to try to listen to them when they tell you something about yourself, no matter how bad—or good—it might be, and to trust them, which is the hardest thing of all. But the best, as well.”

Mi e greu sa fac o diferențiere intre povestea sfâșietoare pe care am citit o (am ascultat o), care a starnit in mine anumite emotii, cât si sentimente de furie, ura, dezgust, compătimire și intre modul dureros de frumos in care autoarea a expus viața lui Jude. Mi e greu sa înțeleg in ce măsura mi a placut cartea asta, dar cu singuranta și a lăsat o amprenta asupra persoanei mele. Ma cutremur când încerc sa ma gândesc prea adanc asupra acțiunilor prezentate, dar acest aspect face cartea capodopera care este.

I don’t think I’ll ever be able to write a review about this book. It was so emotionally wrecking yet so beautiful. I don’t recommend this book to anyone yet I want everyone to read it and to experience such a heartbreaking and exquisite novel. This book made me feel confused to say the least. And very very very sad.

sehr traurige und deprimierende story die mir nicht viel spaß gemacht hat zu lesen…
