I read The Little Prince in one sitting—an hour—but I don’t think I was fully ready for it. It’s the kind of book that asks to be revisited when your heart is softer and your mind a little quieter.

At first, it feels whimsical and light. But it quietly unravels something deeper—loneliness, love, memory, the things we lose as we grow up. It reminded me of truths I’ve maybe forgotten or tucked away.

I don’t usually go for abstract stories, but this one felt like a gentle nudge to slow down and feel. After I finished, I looked up the themes, and they hit me even harder.

It’s a quiet mirror. One I’ll return to when I’m more open. 4 stars for now—but I know it’ll mean more later.
