This is one of the most beautiful books I have read. I don't know what exactly spoke to me so tremendously but I had tears streaking down my cheeks more times than not. As soon as I was halfway through I bought my self a hardcopy because I need a physical book of this story in my shelf. It made me cry and feel and think.
The interactions between the different characters is pure and feels very real and true. There are so many passages I highlighted and felt so deeply.
This was exactly what I needed in this moment.
