This book truly moved me to tears. The emotions felt so raw and real, pulling me into the characters’ struggles, heartbreaks, and triumphs. The storytelling, the plot was beautifully done, making me feel every moment as if I were living it myself. It’s the kind of book that stays with you long after you’ve turned the last page. However, the writer’s vocabulary could still be improved to make the narrative even more engaging. Some parts felt a bit repetitive, and a richer choice of words could enhance the emotional depth even further. But overall, it’s a heartfelt and touching read that I’d definitely recommend!
