Magnifique. Le phrasé est simple, personnelle, poétique. 
Je m’attendais à ce qui allait se passer à la fin, mais la lettre est magnifique et tragique.

If I had read this 10 years ago I think it would have been my favorite novel of the year. Now I'm just old and tired of reading books that end in queer death.

This book deserves 6 stars it is absolutely phenomenal. The writing is so approachable yet poetic and deep at the same time. I was sobbing through the last 10 pages and I don’t recall the last time i felt such hurt because of a book.
