I initially gave this book 3 stars when I read it. I think because it left me so heartbroken and devastated that I was upset with the book. However I was just standing in my kitchen brewing coffee thinking about this book and I realized that I’ve had moments like this many times in the three years since I’ve read this! I’m still processing all the things that this book made me feel 3 years LATER!!!!! If that’s not great writing I don’t know what is.
