my dad recommended me to read this one, and i'm pleasantly surprised with how much i liked it! he also told me that i would cry during this and i did :( 
i loved billy in this, he was such a sweet guy and the way he loved kes more than anything made me really happy. but fuck jud, he needs to rot in hell. anyways, i would recommend, but the dialect can be quite hard to understand! also the authors writing style is beautiful, so that's a major plus!
