This book is emotionally so challenging! Nothing short of destructive. I have seen many reaction videos to the book before reading it and even though I have not shed a single tear while reading it, the book still broke me and tore my heart in half in the last third.
The book begins rather slow and has a lot of descriptive parts in the beginning and middle but that makes the book in total that much better!
I had the feeling, that the book is just like life itself. In the beginneng, in ones youthful years, one thinks that one has all the time in the world. But as one gets older, time begins picking up speed and its over before you even realise it.
I will definitely reread!
