i cannot put my thoughts on this book into words. it was truly incredible.
the writing is so beautiful. the descriptions of love and yearning are so raw. the main themes of queerness, growing up female, homesickness, places, platonic and romantic love are explored so deeply. this book is equal parts heartbreaking and uplifting. the characters feel like real people.
i feel really bad for martin. i have never seen a character be so dedicated to another only for that dedication to not be reciprocated in the way they want. ouch.
easiest 5 stars i've ever given. this is a new favourite book of all time for me. highly, HIGHLY recommend. i truly have no criticisms of this story.
