4.5

Sometimes I needed to take small breaks from the book because the emotions of the characters and subsequent projectable real-life fears felt a little too real. I think the quote on the front summarizes it perfectly - “it will break your heart and put it back together again,” J. Courtney Sullivan. The ending was closure you wanted for Edward as a character, though it’s really mirrored in the strength to live each day for you, with no rights or wrongs.
