I previously DNF’d but gave it another chance and really enjoyed it. The writing is poetic and authentic. Juliette is such a complex and troubled character. And many side characters were very enjoyable. I enjoy her and Adam but I know the really party is with her and Warner. Kenji is my fav and I can’t wait to learn more about these characters. I’m enjoying the ride.
“I spent my life folded between the pages of books.
In the absence of human relationships I formed bonds with paper characters. I lived love and loss through stories threaded in history; I experienced adolescence by association. My world is one interwoven web of words, stringing limb to limb, bone to sinew, thoughts and images all together. I am a being comprised of letters, a character created by sentences, a figment of imagination formed through fiction.”
“You're absolutely delicious when you're angry."
"Too bad my taste is poisonous for your palate.”
