    If you're a crybaby like me who cries to everything they've read... Don't read this outside your room. I regret reading it here at work. 🥹😭

    ONE MORE BOOK

    Though I've reached my goal for this month, which is 3 books per month, I've already read 4 books. I think it won't hurt if added one more since this one is thin, and maybe I could finish it later after work? just maybe...

    Enjoyment: 5.0Quality: 5.0Characters: 5.0Plot: 5.0

    Best fiction I have read so far. Proses were beautifully written. The twists and plots were perfectly arranged and connected. Here are four things I took away from the story.

    1. Bravery doesn't always have to be loud and violent.
    2. Kindness is its own strength, and gentleness doesn't mean weakness.
    3. There is no perfect lover story. Only a real love, even during the hardest times.
    4. Lastly, there is no real winner in wars, and there is "no glory in taking life."
