This one was a challenge in so many ways. I almost quit after a few pages because the writing was too much for me, but somehow, I kept going. Then it became too much emotionally—too cruel, too real, so hard to read and feel—but something kept pulling me in, and I couldn't stop. Unfortunately, the ending dimmed what could have been a solid 5-star read because that POV kind of tainted the beautiful story it was. Even though I had such a hard time reading this, I want to try more from SGJ—his writing just captivates me.
