AAAAAAAAAAA
How is it possible for a person to read five 6 star books in a month? I don't know, but I won't complain about it.
This book was written so beautifully that you can almost forget the utterly heartbreaking origins of this story. I did not see anything coming, and honestly, I felt like the author kept running me over when I tried to get off the ground.
I loved the fact that the ending was pretty open yet not so cliffhanger-ish that a sequel is absolutely necessary.
This is as close to perfection as such a tragedy-filled tale can be.
