53 Letters for My Lover by Leylah Attar

5.0

5 emotionally riveting stars!

If we base our decisions on all the things we’re afraid of, we would be paralyzed with fear.

My first venture on this author's writing and I'm already in love. To say that I loved this book would be an understatement. I would probably talk about it nonstop if no one would reign me in. So many good quotes and passages, a lot of life lessons that made me ponder and think about the what ifs and the if onlys. It made me think about life as whole, to be honest. I feel like I just didn't read a book and finished it in a few hours, it felt like I was with Shayda for years as she went through everything that she went through.

“There is nothing to hide anymore. When love looks at you, when it truly pins you down and stares into your soul, it renders you defenseless. And in that moment, in that state of humbling nakedness, it makes you completely invincible.” 

Then there was, of course, Troy.

Oh, Troy Troy Troy Troy. I LOVED HIM. I mean, how can I not?

"I want to share every sunrise and every sunset and every second in between with you. I want your laughter and your breath and your blood and your bones. You’re the one thing that centres my soul. I may circle the whole world, but you’ll always be home."


I would give it more than 5 stars if I could. One of my top reads this year for sure.
