Holy shit, this book!!!
It’s only February and this very likely might be my favorite book of 2025. One of my favorite books of all-time??
It’s truly so beautiful, thought-provoking, and heartfelt. I didn’t cry but I feel like I’ve been hugged.
It had the same reading feel for me (not necessarily in plot but in style and depth) as The Goldfinch, A Little Life, and Giovanni’s Room, which are unsurprisingly also my favorite books.
READ THIS BOOK.
