Such a painful read and so beautiful at the same time that I couldnt read it every day, but instead for many hours at a time with many days in between. I loved the characters so much, it was so well written. The choice of just saying "he" instead of a name was so interesting to me and made me feel even more fondness. I think Jude is normally the type of character that would really bother me for being seemingly unable to do anything at all to even try to make his life better, but I really really loved him and he didn't bother me at all. I held in tears for most of it and had a good sob once I officially finished it. I think I'll really miss all these guys.
