I never cried more than when I was in a High School classroom where I finished this book for the first time.
Liesel’s story is magnificent and teaches you tenderness. However, the thing about this novel is that the Narrator is Death. Once you start understanding Death, you sympathize with his perspective on humans and how that perspective might change.
Life starts to look completely different after finishing this novel.

*Beware of horrible punctuation in this novel*
Even though Sally Rooney writes without quotation marks in this heartbreaking novel, she writes the most intelligently emotional book ever.
I have never thought about every single relationship I have had so thoroughly. If you have regrets and want to come to terms with each of them, this book is for you! Rooney writes two characters, damaged in two ways that encourage communication between all your relationships.

Have you ever felt that you were a little too much for people?
Well Elizabeth Bennett is the character that makes you say “screw it” it”s okay be bold, a little stubborn, and opinionated.
Austen not only writes beautifully and intelligently but she comments about women and society. Above all else Austen asks a question about what integrity really is, and at its core integrity is about being honest with yourself.
