“The thing I realize is that it’s not what you take, it’s what you leave.”

Wow, just wow. I want to stay by saying if mental health crisis’, suicidal ideation, and discussion of suicide are triggers for you then now is not the time for this book. 
This book was beautiful, lovely, devastating, heartbreaking, haunting, and also kind of uplifting. It was very real and I appreciated and hated that about it. This is one of those books that will weigh on me long after it is done. I am both left feeling speechless and so full of thoughts and feelings about this. This is one of most powerful books I’ve read. It had “The Fault in Our Stars” vibes in heartbreak level.
