Wow. This book… Although I had to take frequent breaks because of its heavy topics and scenes all I can say is wow… this book was beautiful. The language was beautiful. The story was both horriffic and interesting. It really makes you question; do I encourage their love or do I hate them for it? I’ll carry this book in my heart forever. It’s a very heavy read but nontheless a big recommendation.
