Popsugar reading challenge: A book recommended by a bookseller

Really wonderful character study. Just overall a really wonderful book. The titular character is deeply flawed but I loved following his journey all the more for it.

It also nearly made me cry in a few points. It was such a heart wrenching portrayal of trying to have a name for what you are.

I loved the movie and really liked the book as well. It's tragic and queer but hopeful. Definitely glad I read it.

I am just so happy Forster gave Maurice the happy ending he deserved.
