I've never cried harder on a book in my life and I hope I never will the same way I did just now. i want to bury myself in my bed and stay for a few months, truly devastating. i loved it but my heart is completely shattered.

comment after re-reading it on 23/02/2024: my point stands, i am still with wet eyes. fuck this book. i do not want to think about it anymore. (btw i loved it)
