I had never heard of this book before joining “BookTok”. I picked it up because I was promised that I would be devastated and left crying for hours.
Unfortunately, after reading this, I can confirm that this was not the case for me.
Although it was super sad and there were moments when I was left speechless towards people’s puis poor attitudes, I did not shed a single tear.
Whether this says more about my expectations or me as a person has yet to be determined.
