as an avid fantasy / magical realism reader, i can certainly acknowledge that this book is flawed — but frankly the writing was too beautiful for me to even care. plus this book is pretty much like if i blended all my favorite themes into one: starcrossed lovers, living with grief, the beauty and effervescence of memory … and it reminded me of the moment in my life that i chose to live. what a wonderous thing, to face death and conquer its pull. there’s no moment like the present, and there’s no gift like the gift of every new breath we take.
