rutt's review against another edition

wish i'd read this one rather than audiobooked it. the poeticism and double entendres may have been much more appealing to my eye even if i was still completely confused like so many others.

“I like you to know, with my words in your mouth, the places and ways in which I think of you. It feels good to be reciprocal; eat this part of me while I drive reeds into the depth of you, spill out something sweet.”

I wonder if people who love Romeo and Juliet feel about it, how I feel about this story...
this is a very... impressionistic book.
The cover describes the book very well. And not, because... this isn't a simple story. Yet it is...
it's heartbreaking yet lovely... horrible yet lovely. Incomprehensible, yet... yes, lovely.
I can't describe it. All I can say is that I love it.
