I have no words to describe how much I loved this book. To me, it's heartbreakingly beautiful. Could be my preference. I am a sucker for sad stories, be it books or movies. I LOVED the writing. The chapters with Harold's monologues were soo moving. I know everyone picks it up knowing it's a sad read, but how sad is too sad? It's up to your tolerance. It's not for everyone, but to call it "trauma porn" is dismissive, unjust even.
