This book has ruined my life for a short while. Too exciting, almost, for me to take. I really appreciated the writing. 

The sun warm my back, and the bittersweet scent of black tea drifted up into my face. 

Which is simple enough but provoked such a longing in me to be in that class? In general, for a tragedy, it really had me wishing to be there. I enjoyed both the plot and the characterization. Bittersweet ending. But I am glad I read it, for now at least, as long as it refrains from haunting me the rest of my days!
