"Sometimes you have to choose between a bunch of wrong choices and no right ones. You just have to choose which wrong choices feels the least wrong."

I read this back when it came out and I rated it 5 ⭐️ for sure but rereading it now, I can sadly say that I’m lowering my rating. The mere fact that I forgot what the story was all about is the main reason for the decrease. If a story is well deserve of a high rating, it should have been a story to remember but for some reason, after 10 years since I’ve read it. I wasn’t able to remember the important plot. I only remembered it during the reading and some of my assumptions were even slightly wrong. 

It took me a lot of days in order to finish the book. I know it’s super emotionally heavy and it is a good read but just not something I look forward to doing (reading) at the end of the day. I love the characters though. It maybe just the writing that made harder to finish
