a book has not made me sob like this in a MINUTE. this was written and developed in such a beautifully layered way, which i was not expecting when i picked it up. 

i will never be able to watch the movie the same way, this book took me into the trenches with all of the characters and tricked my brain into feeling like i was there too. at some points toward the end i even had heart palpitations and pain in my chest from dread, which is insane. 

truly wonderful things come from people who are thoughtful and passionate about the story they're telling and not just seeing it as a quick disney cash grab. thank you alexander freed!
