ENG
Although it was not an easy read because each chapter was filled with raw deep emotions, I inhaled this book in one sitting. I might have cried more than I have in a good while but it was worth it. I loved to see characters who felt real. I loved to see romance which was not perfect but at the same time, the love they felt for esch other was unmatched. I loved to see human joys and struggles. This book was just a perfect portrayal of life that is complex. I can't wait for the sequel because now my standards are set very high.

P.s. I recommend listening to this book because narrators are amazing! I had started but then had to switch to ebook because I was so invested and it would take me much longer to get through.
