The first few chapters were fine, there were some beautiful thoughts worth highlighting and I was really enjoying it. But then BOOM, the first sentence of chapter 3 completely shattered me (if you read blurbs, the "plot twist" won't surprise you but I don't so I was shocked). And this was where the "fun" begun, well more like pain. I know it sounds like I'm gonna criticize the book but it's the exact opposite! It was absolutely heartbreaking yet so beautiful. I have never ever cried this soon into a story. The poetic language helped with that a lot.
I loved the one sentence that kept repeating again and again and again like a refrain in a song reminding Amelia the harsh truth, that always made me want to cry.
And the epilogue? KILLED ME.
