What can I say about this book that hasn't already been said?
To be 100% honest, I didn't want to read this book. I read the summary and decided it was going to be sad, slow, and dull. I left it on my TBR shelf for a year. Man was I blown out of the water. This book somehow touched on every single emotion. It was relatable in ways I didn't expect. It was funny yet heartbreaking, and one of the very few books I ever teared up while reading it. It's a true masterpiece and I believe everyone needs to experience reading this book at some point in their lives
