This destroy me, ruined me and build me up again. I've read this book when I was feeling very bad, and this made me look at it from a different angle. Tori is a very very depressed individual without any hope in life and when she meets Michael it all starts to change. And it was fascinating to look at it slowly changing one step at a time, while everything else in the background goes down she goes up, without even realizing. This book opened my eyes to some difficult questions I was meant to answer and helped me when I was at my lowest. The best thing I've read, honestly 💔❤️‍🩹
