I can’t properly put into words how amazing this book is. I cried more times than I can count. I fell in love with characters I grew to hate characters. I found myself feeling what Rin was feeling. The ending crushed me. It had to be done. There was no way around it. And yet, it hurt all the same. This book is tragic in every way. The writing was beautiful and well thought out. I could have never predicted this ending, even though there were signs.
