This book is something that made me reflect in life and it got me more empathetic and showed me what i have to be grateful for. it was sad, emotional. it has all the trigger warnings. it got me depressed and it was too much at times to continue. the writing is phenomenal. it is so articulate and immerses you in the lives of the characters.
