there are a lot of things I wish I could take from this book and engrave into my brain as a keepsake for the rest of my life. often times throughout the story I wondered why we centred around jude so much and I found myself almost wishing his trauma wasn't so heavily emphasised, but I always knew—and the book always implied—that jude is the story. a little lifetime of healing and breaking and sacrifice and injustice and laughter and horror and tears, tears, tears. I can't remember any other time I've properly cried at the ending of a book, but good god did I weep at those final lines. ZERO NOTES MISS HANYA
