Gut-wrenchingly sad, I refuse to believe this actually happened and that the book is a memoir. The prose is stunningly beautiful, reminded me of «On earth we’re briefly gorgeous». I’m speechless, undoubtedly one of the best books I’ve ever read. The way the author describes certain feelings and emotions we all felt, but were never able to put into words….I’ve never read anything quite like this before.

This was one of the most beautiful romance (and yes, I would call it a romance) novels ever. While tragic, Philippe’s tone throughout the novel stays purely reflective on the thrilling relationship that the characters once had. The recount of the events throughout and after said relationship show the realities of life and sexuality from a young age. I wish I knew how much of this book is fiction vs fact, autobiographical, etc, but it is beautiful and devastating nonetheless.
