This book was extremely sad, but realistic to todays society. The pacing was fast, which I really liked, but I was confused about the characters in the beginning and felt I had to write down who was who and who knew who, etc etc. Overall, I think the book was written very well and emotionally and the only flaw this book had was the random chapters that were not needed and the lack of explanation. Other than that, if you are looking to enjoy an emotional, intense rollercoaster, this is the perfect book for you. I will never be getting over Tómas’ death.
