I'm crying as I write this because I just finished the book. I'm sad it's ending because I'm attached to Evelyn (Herrera) Hugo, her life, the birth of her child, and the loss of her love, her best friend, and her daughter. I never thought I'd love a book more (it's a new favourite of mine, it deserves 6 stars). Books that are real make you feel emotions. Because real life has love and loss and death. All of it. All feelings are scary. They're the truth and we hate the truth, and I hate it, too, but I love it at the same time. This is not a fantasy book. Fantasies make you feel butterflies inside. Books set in real life like this make your heart drop and your stomach curl. It makes you feel emotions you're ignoring.
This is my favourite book - purely because I can feel it. I felt Evelyn's entire life in this book. And I hated and loved every second of it.

(I'm still crying re-reading this before I post it. This book will make you cry. And you better cry shamelessly about it. It's so good. And I love it).
