finished this book and stared at the wall for a long time after. what an incredibly heart-breaking story, and one that feels achingly relevant to current events happening in the world. the final 150 or so pages were absolutely devastating and so hard to read at times, but i also couldn’t put it down. just… what an amazing book.
