This book changed me in the best way. A beautiful (haunting) exploration of obsession and addiction to art. the characters are intentionally relatable, but exaggerated in the way that only Shakespeare can. 
A love letter to Shakespeare obsessors, tormented queers, and emotionally unwell theatre kids. 
for fans of the marauders, any Shakespeare play, dead poets society, and dark academia <3

This book will forever be my favorite. I think it's genius and important. I will write an essay review later. All my love to Alexander, even if he's not the focus of the book
