This book's storyline was amazing. It managed to connect with me on a huge level and i think that is something really hard and rare to achieve in books. I could feel the characters' pain and other feelings, i would get happy for them and just feel them. It feels like you know this people in real life, like you suffered their story and that shit is just incredible, is something all books should be able to do but unfortunately only a few manage to master.
There were not much characters ro it was easy to remeber them all and they all had very distinctive personalities which made the book much easier to read and helped with the understanding.
The writing was great and i think everything was wonderfully incorporated, the dual timeline was writen perfectly, the flashbacks made sense, and the spicy scenes fit well along with what what happening in the story and it never felt forced or extra, besides i think everything in relation to mental illnesses and triggers everything was very well writen and it made the understanding of the character's reactions and thought processes very clear.
The plot was so interesting and it kept me hooked throughout the whole book, it was emotional, healing and held a feeling of longing it was truly a beautiful story that happened there, what went down between the main characters was a lot of story yet the author took the time to detail everything and lay all the emotions out on the table.
I feel like for how "lengthy" and intensive the first 60% was (which was mainly explaining the characters' past with eachother with help of a dual timeline) the development of the main problem was shorter than what i would have liked, it felt a bit too sudden, specially its solution, personally i think the author had enough material and talent to drag the ending a bit more to create a bigger climax but it was still a great read and i would absolutely recommend this book.
