“wherever you are going, it is waiting for you” 

Takeaway: We are all just people trying to make sense of the deeply connected, twisted webs of life and love. Damn

i’m glad they didn’t end up together.

i took a long time to finish this book even though i liked it from the start. 

all i wanted was to shake cleo’s shoulders and take her to therapy.

it is an exploration on the ripple effect a hasty decision can have on every other relationship we have.

Witty and just absolutely brilliant. A lovely story capturing the human experience, the inevitable heartbreaks that lead to the endless love you are also bound to recieve and show to yourself and finding solace in the knowledge that "wherever you are going,it is waiting for you" . 

 Coco mellors may you live an exceptionally good life because you've made mine better with this masterpiece. 

Ps. Can't wait for the tv series adaptation I'm screamingggg it's going to be so good
 (If not there's always the book hehehe)
