Simply one of the best books I've read this year. My soul is now tied to this book and these characters, that's how good it was . It's crazy how much a book can take so much space In a person's soil bc this was everything,  everything, and everything. It had my heart wrenched within 50 pages of the book, like wtff???? And that was only the beginning bc the rest oh myyy, they way uts all put together and then the way it comes together as one is crazyyy.

Did not finish book. Stopped at 4%.
I don't know isn't was just so slow. Plus it's not a usual book I'd pick up idk what genre this is but ik it's not thriller or fantasy so it was pretty boring

This is the best book to ever exist. I think about it everyday, every second,  every single moment of my life. I don't know if I want to scream or never make a sound again the ending is just so ughhh and the 2 different stories but in one story meaning the same thing (you'll understand after reading) I just can't get enough of this book I read it 3 times already and omg it's amazing.  My mind is like a black hole and this is the only thing that sits in it. My soul and heart is wrapped around this book forever.

This book was amazing. It really show alot of deeper things that u don't usually see in other books. I guess you can call this a ghost  story by the way it was showed. It was written so lovely. It's more than a ghost story cause it's real.
I think it's lovely at the end when Maria says "you can call him crazy, but my dad said it, so I believed it." This book def mad me cry. I loved past books by him and I can say he's the first male author I liked. That's saying alot.
