Amazing book and I would recommend this book to anyone because it is filled with lots of emotions.

I thought this book was extremely emotional and quite hard to read quickly! I am someone who can read quickly through a book ( and enjoy it ) but with this book, I need to take my time and read it thoroughly! In this book, I cried my eyeballs out, I jumped for joy and glee, and I felt like they left me in anxious, yet exciting suspense! I would recommend it to anyone who likes to cry from a book and do chores to read it for 5 minutes!!!
