5.0

Read this book for the second time, the first time I listened to it as an audio book and I did enjoy it, but was not mind blown. Nevertheless I thought about the book a lot, for a long time after, and I decided to buy it to read again. Reading it this time I could really see the beauty in the story. I love the characters, even though they are so flawed. I can relate to both of the main characters in so many aspects. I also think the book is beautifully written, it is poetic without overdoing it. This is a book I certainly have grown an emotional attachment to and will forever appreciate.
