„I can hide in words so long as I scatter them through my body; to read your letters is to gather flowers from within myself, pluck a blossom here, a fern there, arrange and rearrange them in ways to suit a sunny room.“

This book just feels like pure art. I loved reading the story even though the writing style could also be challenging at times. The story itself is very mysterious and doesn’t really answer any questions. You just have to go with the flow. But it didn’t bother me at all, it just created a mysterious atmosphere that gave the words even more opportunity to shine. 
This will be a story I can reread and always find discover new with each read.

 I recommend you do not read what this is about before you start. 
The style is poetic, beautiful but also a bit confusing at times. This did not hinder me from falling in love with both of them pretty much from the start. The romance hit me with a club from behind (i was the whacked seal), not because I was necessarily surprised by it, I am very familiar with enemies to lovers as a trope, but more because I was stunned how much INTO IT I was. My lesbian darlings, red in blue, blue in red, I- gods. 
Anyway. 
I adored reading this. Admit to needing the audiobook next to the book because I had difficulty concentrating, but that is probably just me (being non-native english speaking). The audiobook had GREAT voice actors tbh, very well-chosen. 
I finished and I wanted to read it again. I cried. I gasped. I was giddy at some of the references. 
I recommend if you read this to read it in one sitting, just completely engross yourself in it. 
Loved the world, the two mains and how their way of interaction and how they write their letters showed so much about them. 
Big recommendation from me, my kinda book, five stars straight up.

truly a beautiful book that fits many lives and worlds into a comprehensive and easily digestible read.  i loved how the characters grew as time went on, to me red felt more computer than human for the first few chapters but love & connection personified her and gave her depth. will definitely re-read at some point to gain more
