This book is so beautiful. I gave it 5 stars before and I still agree with my younger self.
"My emotions have been wrung out like a wet washcloth. Like someone cut me open, scrubbed my insides with a stiff brush, and sewed me back up again."
Yup, that explains my feeling when I read this book. It's so beautiful that it hurts. I may not be in the position that I was before but I'd to stop and calm myself before continuing. It's simple but also heart-wrenching.
Side note: I'm not interested in reading the Monstrous Sea snippets. I think even without it, I still understand the story.
