While this book took a long time to get through, it was SO worth it. After finishing the book, I sat for a long time, crying and reflecting. Life is so precious. You never know what someone else is going through or what they have gone through. I have never cried so much while reading a book, but it’s only because I was so invested and felt so close to each and every character. Give yourself time. Be patient with yourself.
