This was a reread.
This book has no right to get me this invested. It’s like a drug. It’s hurting me and yet I just keep going faster, wanting more. I still stand by my previous review: The second half of this book made me physically hurt. It just had its claws in me. And yet I love it.
I also remembered even less of this book than I thought I did so the fact that this was a reread didn’t help with preparing me at all.
