call me crazy but i had to physically stop myself from finishing the story the same sitting i started reading bc of how good it was??? im sorry if i spam here but i actually have to express how life changing reading this book was. like. i wish i could bottle up the feeling it gave me and carry it around forever. it was so much more than just a book—i felt like i was experiencing this. the characters felt real in that quiet, aching way where you miss them before you’re even done. the writing??? disgusting. unfair. how dare you be that good?? how dare you ruin every other book for me?? i don’t know how to move on from this and honestly, i don’t want to. i want to reread it for the first time over and over and over. this book didn’t just raise the bar, it launched it into orbit. thank you for ruining my life in the best possible way. the pacing? impeccable. the emotional beats? life changing. the amount of times i had to stop and just stare at a sentence like. how do i go back to real life after reading that. i could write a dissertation on every line, every pause, every breath between words. this story made me fall apart and put me back together in ways i didn’t even know i needed. i genuinely feel like a different person now. not to be dramatic, but i’ll be measuring time as before and after reading this. i’m going to be thinking about this for days. weeks. maybe years. the chokehold it has on me is actually embarrassing. and if you think i’m not going to bring it up in every conversation from now on? WRONG. this book is my entire personality now. LITERALLY THANK YOU FOR WRITING THIS!!!
