I had to come in the park to write this review. I had to take myself out of the house because I was so broken down.
It is a very beautiful book... but I really hoped that at some point the misery will stop.
I had to buy an expensive tub of ice cream to cheer me up but even that didn't work. I couldn't eat the entire day.
I am really amazed with the profoundness and the accuracy of describing the thoughts and feelings of the characters.
Please do not read this if you're emotional or ever so slightly sad in your day to day life. This is emotional torture... I just hope the weeks will pass quickly and the memories will be erased or at least faded from my mind.
I love Willem, I love Jude, Harold, Andy; I could see all them clearly as I was reading, and even wihout seeing him, I was fascinated by Jude's beauty. I will always listen to the song: "Hey Jude" thinking of Jude St Francis 💔
