Night As It Falls by Jakuta Alikavazovic

4.0

from my literature teacher, Ms Solah. thank you for getting me my first, very pretty, hardcover novel. 

this took me like 6 weeks to read lol it's not like 300 pages it felt like 400 cus of the very literature wordings and stuff. but I read most of it within the past week was just a slowwwww start. 

anyways long review cus I can't sleep now how could I after reading such a big chunck of this book lol

honestly I didn't expect to like it as much as I did when I finished it (that was such a bittersweet ending I rlly paused for like a whole minute). there were so many rlly nice words, phrases and thoughts in this book. 

the main couple...wow...*spoilers btw* there was a quote I rlly liked when amelia went "you saved something in me that didn't deserve to be saved; I destroyed something in you that didn't deserve to be destroyed" like </3 ouch TT-TT no like it was so sad but beautiful but realistic and especially with their child near the end and the fact that even through their "abandonment" and "seperation" cus of everything they still loved eachother (nah when they said at the same time that they were glad their daughter looked like the other TT-TT) BUT HE DIDN'T REALISE HOW MUCH SHE REALLY LOVED HIM TILL SHE PASSED WHAT THE HELLLLLL 😭😭😭 (the girlie is kinda crazy and when she gave birth she couldnt recognise her man's and her daughter and he thought she was finally insane and felt sad and that when she was really hoping that that was her family even though she thought she was unworthy TT-TT) 

anyways the girl kinda reminds me of me and is like a reminder to not be like that ig? (self destructiveness) cus this book was more bitter than sweet ngl 

i did end up liking this book and way more than I thought I would...TT-TT
