    Please read my review! I attend an international school overseas. The other day, I was secretly reading this novel on my phone. When I got to the heart-wrenching parts, my eyes welled up with tears, and my foreign classmates noticed. Out of curiosity, two of my friends insisted they read it too. I downloaded a VIP translation app and translated the whole book for them, telling them to be prepared to cry. Three days later, one of my friends came to me and said it was quite good, not heart-wrenching at all. A week later, during class, she suddenly kept her head down and sobbing, her eyes still red. The teacher asked her what was wrong, but she didn't say. After class, she came to me, crying uncontrollably, asking why I let her read such a sad book. The other friend was secretly reading it in bed at night, crying so loudly that her mom found out. Her mom thought she was being bullied, and she didn't come to school the next day. It was truly heartbreaking; I even got my parents called in because of it! [Crying][almost crying][laughing and crying]
