heartbreaking
‘People can't always give us what we want from them, you can't ask them to love you the way you want and no one can be blamed for that' my heart skipped a beat
Achingly beautiful and well-written.
The language is simple, yet still evokes emotions and vivid, mental images.
The young longing, and the fear of not being able to live authentically is spot-on.
Held it together for most of the book, but the last few pages had me bawling.
A great, easy-to-get-through read with a great mix of romance and tragedy. Solid four stars!
