I have to admit this was not at all what I expected after reading the synopsis, but wow, what an amazing story!
It was beautifully written, very suspenseful, had great characterisation and was so emotional that I found myself tearing up by the end of it.
I don’t want to say any more than that because I think going into this not knowing more than the synopsis makes this a perfect reading experience.
I'll finish this review with the last four lines of Mary Oliver's The Summer Day, one of my favourites, which is mentioned in this book and for that I love it even more:
Tell me, what else should I have done?
Doesn't everything die at last, and too soon?
Tell me, what is it you plan to do
with your one wild and precious life?
