It would take too long to type out everything I have to say about this book. Although I enjoyed it, I can’t say I would recommend it to anyone due to its heavy nature. I don’t think I will ever read a book like this again, it will stick with me forever. I have thought about the book and Jude every single day since finishing it. I see him in everything. </3
