I think I low-key lived for this book during the five days it took me to read it. I woke up, I was excited to read a chapter or two during breakfast. During the day, I waited for the moment that I could get in bed or the sofa to read a little more. I read until I went to sleep (sometimes a little later than I should). I think the past/present pov helped making it so engaging. The story is so beautiful, too, and all the characters are so loveable I want to hug them all. The only reason I didn't give this 5 full stars is because something in the end happened and it felt really out of character for one of the characters.
