First read (June 1): I’ve had trouble explaining this book to people which I think is valid considering how deeply this book has imprinted itself on my bones in the most personal way. Some parts of the books were frustrating on a personal level (hopping back and forth from time and places and story) but in the end those moments built up an intricate and heart-consuming kind of way. A love letter to dreamers and readers. Felt too seen in many moments and have cried too much. Loved it.
