4.5 starsThis is just a story about the good and bad things in life, but it’s told so explosively. The writing is amazing in my opinion. I felt, saw and lived every scene. I was teary. I was smiling. This book removed me from my world completely while I read it and left its feelings behind afte...

I get the hype. I get the awards. I totally get it. This is a heart achingly beautiful story. A love story. Between a boy and girl, a boy and a boy, a sister and brother, a family. Everything breaks. They remake the world. Read this and feel ALL THE FEELS.
