i wasn’t ready. the last 3 chapters alone had me SWEATING and SHAKING... this was such a heartbreakingly beautiful novel and it absolutely WRECKED me. literal chills afterwards. i’m questioning my own sanity and wondering what’s real and isn’t.

please. just read this.

“It reminds me that as long as the lemon trees grow, hope will never die.”

to anyone who told me to read this: i will be sending you my therapy bill

finally picking this up... i don’t know what to expect because i haven’t looked at any spoilers and didn’t even read the blurb but i’m ready to be emotionally destroyed. i think?
