Rezension von Lisa - ReadsThis book was one great bittersweet goodbye. (Please don't ask why; I can't explain it) I found myself in every part of Edith. She is such an emotionally intelligent, strong individual. I loved this book with every part of my soul. No matter how broken and lost these parts where. I will never stop recommending this brilliant piece of Literature to anyone I know. It will forever hold a special place in my heart.
