this book was unlike anything i’ve ever read before, and it was genuinely heart-wrenching. i fought back tears multiple times throughout my reading of this book.  the symbolism of the fire and the intense writing style were probably my favorite aspects of this novel. i think this is a must read for everyone. 4/5 stars
