That's how hearts get broken, you know. When you believe in promises.
Well, this book was something. Something I cannot - and do not want - to name. I can't decide if I liked it or not, because I honestly don't feel a single orphan feeling towards it, and it confuses me. I denied it somewhere in this book, maybe too much, and now I'm trying to figure out what it was.
Charlie was a girl with an extremely long journey, a girl in whose shoes many others can imagine themselves in, strong; weak, lost, full of hope, charitable, and so infinitely broken. Yet it was this diversity that made her so alive, not a survivor, but alive. She deserved so damn much peace and tranquility, so much. And I genuinely loved her, with all her flaws, she will surely stay in my heart for a very long time because she was able to get up off the floor, with difficulty, but she did it and I'm so proud of her for that. Besides, the others have grown very close to my heart, especially Blue and Linus, who helped her so much, I could give my whole soul to them.
The plot deals with a difficult subject, and I won't comment on that because I think everyone knows what I mean. It was relatively understandable, although it took a while for everything to come together, because as we progressed with the book, the more Charlie remembered and opened to the world. The pace itself was a bit slow and very long by the end. In short, it was good for one read, but I wouldn't read it again.
And remember; No matter what, wherever life takes you, up or down, there is always a way out, there is always light at the end of the tunnel, always.
