i wasn’t ready. the last 3 chapters alone had me SWEATING and SHAKING... this was such a heartbreakingly beautiful novel and it absolutely WRECKED me. literal chills afterwards. i’m questioning my own sanity and wondering what’s real and isn’t.

please. just read this.

finally picking this up... i don’t know what to expect because i haven’t looked at any spoilers and didn’t even read the blurb but i’m ready to be emotionally destroyed. i think?
