This book is amazing, but it will break your hart. It is just so so so sad. This is also a book that has pretty much all the content warnings, and it's worse than you think it's going to be. I cried... A lot. Mostly sad tears, but also happy ones. 

I kept hoping for a more hopeful ending, but alas. I wished better for Jude, he deserved it.
