I loved this book so much it's one of my favourite books of all time. I always cry at the ending because the story is just so beautiful. This book will always live in my heart, it helped me get through some rough times and I dont think I'll ever get tired of reading it over and over again.

This is the most confusing, weird sotry I've ever read. Everyone raves about this author but i just dont understand the hype, to me this book was just boring and bland, there was no real plot or story to enjoy and I didn't like it at all
