I had the impression that Kite Runner wouldn't make me cry. Before searching for this book's trigger warnings on Google, I had already purchased the book. I was very hurt by this book. I am so furious with Amir for what he did to Hassan that I am at a loss for words. But I suppose Rahim was correct; at the time, he was still a young lad.

I can't even begin to describe how much this made me cry. I keep crying before going to bed merely by thinking of the sentence, "For you a thousand over," therefore I had to put down my book in order to cry.

Being overly spoilt on Google or TikTok has caused me to believe that I won't cry. Still, I cried.
