I have no words. I never felt sad before about finishing a book and I couldn't connect with people saying they felt so. Having finished this book I totally get that. I never wanted this book to be over. This is a book I'm going to cherish for the rest of my life. Many books made strong impression on me but there's something different about this one.
There's so much beauty in the writing that I couldn't quite describe. I felt like this was an open discussion about love in its all sense.
I will strongly recommend this book to everyone.
