”Forgive me for all the things I did, but mostly for the ones I did not.”
No, I seriously, can't describe how mesmerizing and beautiful this book is.
It is a literary work so well written and so interesting that it makes you cry, the complexities of the characters, the aesthetic and all the drama that circulates around them is stunningly impressive.
The amount of quotes and different interpretations that exist, and how much they affected me personally, is something no book had ever done for me.
it changed the way I read (and wrote) literature. A lot of people hype it up for its 'aesthetic, but for me the real allure of this novel is its philosophy. Reading it felt like someone had held a mirror up to my soul: I saw my deepest fears, my greatest desires. And it's guaranteed to gut you like a fish.
The best book I've read this year, I really doubt I doubt very much if I'm going to read something this year that I like more than this, it fascinated me to the core. Je adore.
