Well fuck me this was a surprise. I remember seeing someone talk about how much they loved this ages ago, and then I got it for my kindle and then it was the only book with there/their/they're on my owned TBR for the Buzzwordathon challenge and here I am. 

First things first HOLY FUCKING SHIT THIS BOOK IS AMAZING HOW ARE MORE PEOPLE NOT TALKING ABOUT IT OH MY GOD. Like, so heartfelt and human and gorgeous and painful and aahhh. Absolutely a new favourite read no questions fucking asked like damn. I have few words but like, shit. This is absolutely stunning. Read. It.
