I'd give this book 7 stars if I could.
here's what I sent to my friend, who gifted me this book, right after I finished it:
jfc
it's perfect
I love it so much
I want to bathe in her prose
and drink up every story in her brain
I want to wear this book as a coat and sprinkle it in my yogurt

I don't think I could add anything else to convey my feelings. I cannot spin words together we'll enough to truly reflect what this book did to me. Elif, thank you.
