when you wept, it was just over yourself and not because of the marvellous impossibility of reaching her through the difference that separates you

This book was compared to Pornocracy which is a book I was insanely disappointed by so I was initially wary but it was actually quite lovely

This book makes me cry every time. Short and hauntingly beautiful. I always see this as a white, grey and blue story, hollow and cold. Love it.

"She smiles, says this is the first time, that until she met you, she didn't know death could be lived."
"She answers softly, gently: Because you don't love"

Disappointed. I read The Lover and fell in love with it so hard. The imagery, the emotion without sentimentality, the sexuality. I felt none of that here, even though the entire book is about sex and emotion.
