This book broke me a thousand times over. Just when I thought nothing could be more devastating, I was wrong.
This is a book I think everyone should read, but I don't want to recommend it to anyone because of how emotionally shattering this book is. I don't really have a lot of words, I don't know how to process everything in this book or how to go on without knowing more past the ending.
This was my first book by Khaled Hosseini and it will not be my last-- though I think I may need something a little more lighthearted after this book. 5 Stars because I sobbed through the entire thing and that's not something easy thing for a book to do to me.
