Gut-wrenchingly sad, I refuse to believe this actually happened and  that the book is a memoir. The prose is stunningly beautiful, reminded me of «On earth we’re briefly gorgeous». I’m speechless, undoubtedly one of the best books I’ve ever read. The way the author describes certain feelings and emotions we all felt, but were never able to put into words….I’ve never read anything quite like this before.
