This is more about two of the books than this one alone because in my heart I treat them as one: but this was a life-changing read. Really.
I don't feel like I'm exaggerating at all. This was the most beautiful read I have ever done in my life and well, I have read a bunch of stories in my life. But none of them were as stunning, making me feel like I'm floating and as if my soul was shining, the writing being just gorgeous and the topics covered being so important and incredibly held - I kept on marking sentences and paragraphs and whole pages - and I feel like this book is just a gigantic quote that I wear on my heart. And, I think, this is quite important.
