This was an incredible read. Broke my heart over and over, and I couldn't stop reading. Such a powerful story of friendship and love. Jude's story opened my eyes to the pain of lifelong suffering, the scars left by childhood abuse, and the true power of self-esteem in relationships. The pure love shown by Jude's friends was deeply human and hopeful. I want to read it again, and miss the characters deeply.
