4.5
I will never be able to sit down and read these pages or flip through the paper thin pages to discover the lives of these four friends for the first time.
This book is one those book that will stick with you. The story enveloped in it’s page will enraptured you. The little life of these four friends in New York City and one little life it centers around is so simple of a concept but execution by Hanya was perfection. I cried while reading book which is something I never do. Do I think this book deserve 5⭐s? No but it is solid 4.5⭐s. There were parts that were a tad confusing and too heartbreaking.
