I started reading this book intending for it to be casual, for me to hop around between books. But once I started, I literally never stopped. I couldn't put this book down to do anything. It made me cry more than once, and it's so so beautiful. Yes it maybe was a little heavy-handed/on-the-nose here and there, but that could also be because I didn't need the same explanations and walk-throughs other people might. Overall this book was amazing.
