Will someone please tell me why this book isn't talked about more often?!?!
I am beyond baffled as to why this isn't an extremely hyped young adult novel. Once I began reading (well, technically listening), I couldn't stop.
It's hard for me to explain why I loved this story so much. It started with the fact that captured being a reader in such a beautiful way. This book really explained what it was like for an imaginative reader to experience life - the good and the bad. It felt like reading about myself and the way I've perceived the world ever since I was a little girl. From dreaming up what one would name their sword to counting the whales swimming in the sky - it was a little bit magical, without actually becoming fantasy or magical realism.
This is a book for book-lovers. It's also a book for writers. It explores grief, joy, imagination, anxiety, love, and all the rollercoasters of life in such a stunning way. Honestly, I keep writing sentences and then erasing them because I don't think anything can properly describe what I felt as I read this story. But please, please read it. It really is breathtaking.
