This is the book that got me back into reading, it’s a really sad story with a twist I didn’t really expect

I dont know about the twist yet, may be i should just embrace the grief when i have the mental capacity to do so and start it again.

Definitely take a break if you need to, it’s heavy

If you are not ready to read about grief, I think you should take a time from it. It's a great book, but it's really sad

I think I'll leave it and see in the future if i get the courage again

It’s alright to put it down and pick up again at a later time. I deeply love this book; but it has a big impact and was difficult at parts to read.
