Okay, after thinking about this book a bit more, I think the writing is truly great. I loved that.
But. This book.
Honestly, I am not sure if I am glad that I've read it or not. It's just so frustrating. Not in a bad way, as in it's frustrating to read, but more like frustrating because I wish there was something I could do to help instead of just watching the story unfold - and I know this is just a book but still. I can't even put into words how I feel about this book. I can't imagine it being any different but the fact that it made me hopeful for just one tiny bit and then made sure to completely crush that tiny spark of hope, is just so mean. I knew it was going to be sad but even knowing that did not help. To conclude: This is book is mean.
