Witty and just absolutely brilliant. A lovely story capturing the human experience, the inevitable heartbreaks that lead to the endless love you are also bound to recieve and show to yourself and finding solace in the knowledge that "wherever you are going,it is waiting for you" . 

 Coco mellors may you live an exceptionally good life because you've made mine better with this masterpiece. 

Ps. Can't wait for the tv series adaptation I'm screamingggg it's going to be so good
 (If not there's always the book hehehe)

i don't know - maybe i'm finding that i'm actually a sucker for books that star with really hot, really sad girls and the men in their lives who either save them or got them that way. something about cleopatra and frankenstein really sticks with you, in a way that permanently alters the way you view other people, or yourself in love, or yourself in turmoil. i'm so grateful that this is the book that started my 2023, and i can't wait to see what comes next for coco mellors.
