a heartwrenching book. i’ve been trying to write a review on it, but i think my words would only serve to disservice its complexities. it explores the most microscopic details of what it means to love, to touch, to exist in a world that was not made to wait for you, and how human experience is a collection of moments of waiting, pausing, and breathing with those you care about.
