4.5

This book is devastating and beautiful. I love the way Rafael writes. The only reason I can't give it the full five stars is because it took until about 60% through the story for me to feel a connection to the main characters. But Rafaels style and my friend’s recommendation kept me pushing. As heartbroken as I am, this story was definitely worth it.
