Better than expected

I knew nothing about this book going into it, it was one of those silly "what should you read based on..." Nonsense quizzes. I barely set it down once I started. This one definitely burrowed itself into my heart

One of the best books I’ve ever read

One of my all time favorite reads. This book is so hauntingly beautiful and well thought out. I could read it again and again. Highly recommend.

An incredible book.

One of the best books I've ever read; it's been almost a year and it still haunts me. Devastating and inspiring.
