I think not crying after reaching the ending feels worse than crying from it—I have an empty hole in my heart now Finally read this after my friend recommended it to me (she knows I like these types of tragedies) and I loved it so much: the religious trauma was so well-depicted and well-written that I cried, and the scene of his father blaming him for what happened just goes to show how Alan was right all along and that his parents don’t care for him. The events leading up to the tearful ending hurt even more than the ending alone, but it made reading the ending so much more worth it. I hope Hayden and Alan reunite in their next lives like Alan says
