Hang on a sec.

I'm gonna leave the rating blank now, cause I feel like I wouldn't have given this book five stars had I read it today. Yeah, it definitely impacted me once upon a time, but now... I've read so many unbelievably emotional books that this one just seems to, quite frankly, fade into the background. I've read a handful of eye-opening reviews and analyses that have made me see this book in a new light. A dimmer light, sadly.

Sorry to disappoint the people who liked my former review, where I claimed that this book was so "heart-destroying" and whatnot. That was my younger self being overly dramatic, I think.

Gabrielle Avis I think there was a warning on the front. I just realised this but clouds rain, and what did our eyes do while we were reading this book? Rain. IT WAS THE CLOUDS! How haven't I realised this before.

Elyse I know the feels. *sniffles* *sobs* Life is just not fair.


Natalie This book made me cry so much ;-;


message 16: by Ariko (new)

Ariko I saw the film 2 days ago and I was just crying like hell. So extremely like I never did apart from during TITANIC. Maybe I cried even harder. Now I decided to forget about all the books I borrowed from the library for a while and to stop reading everything I'm reading right now and get to read this, JUST THIS ONE, THIS HELL OF A BOOK. No matter if I want or not. I just HAVE TO. Although I know this is going to break me into a million pieces. The delivery is hopefully already on it's way. I just CAN'T WAIT.


Becca Hart I most definitely disagree, but yes, you're entitled to your own opinion.
