"I wish you could upload images or videos bc I would put the time-lapse of me SOBBING while reading the last part as my review.<br/><br/>I thought I wouldn’t be that into this book as the format is kinda weird but it’s actually impressive. I lowk got so used to it so quick and ended up LOVING the sparse format. What’s crazy is how Crossan managed to It pack such a punch with less words than other books use. This story wormed its way into my heart I fear."
