Crying and throwing up. It was so good. I literally read this book for English class but like. Holy shit. A book has never come closer to making me cry. There is so much left unanswered but at the same time maybe that's right for it but also I want to know so much more. It's beautifully written and beautifully crafted and it's empathetic and emotional and REAL and I love it.
