Books that Broke me!
These books? Ruined me. Broke me in the best way possible. Had me questioning my morals and my standards. They are messy, emotional, and real. They’re not for the faint of heart — and that’s exactly why I’ll never stop recommending them. #sadbookrecs #booksthatchangedmylife #bookstha
