Wow, just wow! This book was so amazing, and saying it is an understatement. The journey this novel gave me was ineffable. Because I learned, a lot. It definitely showed the power books has into us. I felt every emotion and every problem there is. This is like watching real people's lives, on how they deal and direct the twists and turns life throws at them.
Justin is the greenest green flag there is. He is someone I want to end up marrying. The standard Justin sets is so high, I also need to set it in my life. Sure he had some baggage, but it made him human, a real person, someone who suffers. His POV are the best and the way he fights for his relationship cannot be topped. But real questions is, why isn't he existing here in the real world?
Whilst reading this made me want to protect Emma at all cost. To me, she is just a little girl wanting to be cared for, loved and protected. The way her mother treated her is unforgivable. No one must suffer the same thing Emma experienced. She didn't deserve it. It also had some consequences that Emma needed to work on, and I am happy she did; because it limits her to do the things she wanted. Oh, Emma, my little girl.
All in all, I loved this book very very much. I loved it so much, I can feel it seeping through my bones. I adored it so much, I wanted to read the book again. I cherished it so much that the characters felt very real and close to my heart. And it became so fond to me to the point that I read it in my Kindle and I wanted to buy a physical copy. Just so It'll be mine, in my possession. There in my shelf knowing that when I pick it back up, I'll experience the same happiness I felt reading it.
P.S. This review might seem like a ramble, because it is, and because I just finished the book and have so many thoughts, I can't contain any longer. I needed to spill the beans, to show my appreciation. Because, again, It's that good.
