I usually don't read books that I know will make me cry as a way to protect myself from the atrocities that this world is. But even knowing that the book would bring up emotions I didn't necessarily want to deal with I still decided to purchase it. And even while SOBBING I still continues to read it, because of how beautiful the story was. Not only was it extremely relatable but its also just beautifully written. There is one part of this book that really stuck to me because I relate to it so much "She thinks I don't care. But it's not that; it's that it's so very much to care about, so much to feel, and instead of trying to sort out what's in my head, sometimes I don't want to feel any of it at all." There is so much to care about in the world. So many problems, so many causes. Sometimes I do want to turn it all off and stop caring because it's all so overwhelming. I think Miss Christina Reed did wonderfully portraying this feeling and putting it into words.
