OVERALL RATING 9.9/10
This is probably the best book I have ever read. Every tiny detail of every chapter ties perfectly together to make a realistic and heartfelt story. The characters are diverse and multi-dimensional, the descriptions make you feel like you are in the town, and the plot will keep you reading until the very last page.
