I don’t really know what to say about this book. It broke my heart but still managed to make me love it - well maybe love is not the right word but incredibly attached. Reading it felt like being a part of the story. Suffering the same fate Harold does. They all (but especially Jude) have a soft spot in my heart and I will be thinking about this book for a long time.

With that being said it’s also a beautiful and real depiction of friendship, love and chosen family.
