_sarahandthesun 's review for:
Boy Swallows Universe
by Trent Dalton
Wow. I loved this book. I didn’t want it to end but I wanted it to end happy. I wanted all the stars and moons and skies to align for Eli and Gus.
Intertwined with details throughout. Details. That kept coming back round to meet the story again. That had relevance and depth and beauty. Although brutal, very very beautiful. The relationships between many different types of love, captured like I had opened my heart and poured my own experiences of love onto a page with words I never knew needed to be said. Or read.
Felt like I had stepped back in time with Trent and watched memories like being in Dumbledores pensieve when I read his chapters. I related with aspects of the feelings and the magic described in this book. The unlimited power of magic we have in us as children with our siblings and what as humans we can suppress and manipulate our minds into thinking.
Its a love story. But not another typical one. Its a story of love between different relationships that aren’t acknowledged as much as they should be. Thank you Trent!
