i will think about this book every day for the rest of my life i cannot even begin to describe the level of emotion every single chapter made feel. i seriously doubt that i will love any other characters more than i love the characters in this book, i want to see jb’s paintings and malcolm’s buildings and willem’s movies and i want to sit down with jude st francis and tell him about everything wonderful in the world and i desperately want to talk to harold and richard about all of the other characters. seriously every time i think about this book my heart aches
