Cried

I couldn't put it down

My sister recommended me this book a while ago and I didn't even give it a second thought and just forgot about it. Later on I found it in my local library and checked it out. I read it all in one sitting and have reread it multiple times. I got so tired of checking it out I just decided to buy it. I highly recommend even just once, it is super fast to read and super engulfing.
