i told myself i was gonna savour this book, and so i did. there are sad stints throughout the books. moments where i couldn't stand the characters and their decisions. times where i thought they weren't going to progress past their current sad state. but GOD, i was pleasantly wrong.

this was an important read, seeing issues through lenses i may not experience, understanding the world i that sense. this book did THAT and more, i adored it so much.
