Wow. I truly have never read a book like this before, a book that detailed intimacy in a way that (once I shut it) did not make me feel icky or gross. This was BEAUTIFUL and full of gorgeous writing that was old-timey but not too flowery or hard to understand. I also loved how the book was structured into three sections representing three types of love, and ended with a unique epilogue that reminded readers what the entire book was truly about.

Only complaint I have is that the end felt a little messy and abrupt, so the flow that made precious chapters and sections work so well was lost.
