i finished this 2 months ago and I think about this book everyday. I’ve never been so immersed in a piece of fiction the way this captivated me. I’ve never grown so attached to fictional characters and had such an emotional connection too. This isn’t a book I would recommend to anyone, due to the content, but it’s so real and challenging. I’ll never get over it. 6/5 ⭐️
