Probably the easiest 5 stars I’ve ever given, are you kidding me? This. Freakin. Book. The writing? Spectacular. My emotions? Freakin all over the place.  The story? Unforgettable. Highlights? 297 of them. My heart? Shattered. Thank you 

I’ll try to get myself together enough to form a full review but just trust me and go into this blind and enjoy the ride. oh and make sure you read all the way to the end of the acknowledgments. 

WOW

why yes I did reread this within 24 hours of finishing it. My previous statements all remain and I still don’t have the words for this, but probably never will. I absolutely loved this book, and the second time was even better. It’s one of the most real and honest books I have ever read. The writing is phenomenal and I went through 3 whole highlighters annotating this. There is honestly so much to this book I want to talk about but cannot risk spoiling a single thing so I just highly recommend reading it and then talking to either DEG herself or someone who’s read it because woah. This book is so unique and it was one of the best reading experiences of my life. Prepare for me to never shut up about it! 

DEG, thanks for letting me be obsessed with you and your book and for talking through literally every point in the book.
