Wow. That’s all I can think. This book packs a punch in little space. At first I had a hard time with the 2nd person pov, but it eventually becomes clear why that style is necessary. The lyrical, poetic writing was gripping and emotional, carrying me from moment to moment with emotion. It felt as though on every page there was something to underline as beautiful quotes to remember.
