I don’t fully know how to express what this book did to me, so here are a couple of my favourite quotes:

“”Fuck off,” he said, which, to Keema’s ears, had the same melody as I love you.”
FML

“The two boys, who once wanted nothing more than someone to fight, now faced each other.”

“And the spear cuts through water.” AHHHHHH

This is what I wished the Song of Achilles had been lol
