My favorite book I’ve ever read. It’s a very hard book to read because it takes such an emotional toll on you, but some of my favorite quotes of all time are from this book. “Children aren’t coloring books. You don’t get to fill them with your favorite colors”. This book is beautifully written and so emotionally impactful. I recommend this book highly, but if you are expecting a happily ever after this is not the book for you.
