Y’ALL THIS BOOK. I don’t really know what to say about this book that will accurately convey how much i enjoyed it. I think you just need to read it. Why? 

1. I feel like you need to discover the plot for yourself. If I try to summarize it or tell you what it’s about, it ruins the fun. (IMO) 
2. This book is less than 100 pages. It’ll take you an hour. I started it at midnight one night because I have no chill. And guess what? It ruled. 
3. Ann Patchett @parnassusbooks recommended it, and honestly she will never lead you astray. If you don’t trust me, trust Ann.
