Okay I cried this time.
==1st Read==
I enjoyed this book. I really did. but I think my expectations were really high and that may have affected things. I've seen people cry over this book and I kept waiting for that emotional punch and it never came. I kind of came out thinking "well what was the point?" and that was upsetting. but the prose was beautiful and raw and it was emotional but I think the fact that I was expecting it to ABSOLUTELY DESTROY ME took away what it did deliver.
