i thought i was going to give this book my ‘run of the mill, pretty decent book’ score of 3. but the last 15 ish chapters were beautiful and made me think about my own future.

i am terrified of losing the people i love and being confronted with a lot of loss in the final stretch of this book was incredibly impactful.

many a tear was shed.

Probablement un de mes livres préférés. Je regrette la traduction parfois trop littérale du texte, mais j'espère que c'est un garant de sa justesse. À mettre entre toutes les mains. 😊
