This was a beautiful read and I couldn't let go of the book in the last chapters.
I know it's a work of fiction, but when it depicts something so absolutely heartbreaking, at times almost unbearable to read, I don't want to give out an opinion - I feel like it doesn't really matter.
The last six words of the book are absolutely beautiful, as is the rest of it of course - although beautiful is not the word I'd choose. It'll stay in my head and in my heart a while.
