"But time was a river made of quicksilver. It slipped through his grasp even as it enveloped him."

I swear it's like 5 star reads are the hardest to write reviews for. I never know exactly how to articulate my feelings on books that affect me so deeply. One thing I know for certain though: you need to read this book. S.A. Cosby writes grief and loss in such a way that you start to feel like you're grieving these fictional people, too. Beautiful prose, a beautiful story, and beautifully flawed individuals coming together to do something that should have been impossible. I love Ike and Bobby Lee so much. Frankly I'm a little sad it's over.
