I wish I could give this book more than 5 stars. It is the most beautiful, poetic book I’ve ever read in my life. However, I have also never cried this much or this hard because of a book. I knew it was probably going to be sad before I started reading it, but nothing could have prepared me for how devastating it truly was. That being said, if you don’t mind sobbing 5+ times in 214 pages, this is the best book you’ll ever read.

It’s so hard to explain this book. It’s almost something that’s better off happening to you.

It’s a book about love.
It’s a book about sexuality.
It’s a book about shame.
It’s a book about regret.
It’s a book about art.
It’s a book about family.
It’s a book about intelligence.
It’s a book about compassion.
It’s a book about men.

It’s a lot. But worth it.
