You ever read a book a long time ago and then find yourself thinking about it all the time and then you read it again years later and it’s just as incredible?

That is this book for me. Always will be apparently. I was almost afraid to read it again because I was concerned I would change my memory of it and it wouldn’t be as good as I remembered it being. Nope. It was genuinely INCREDIBLE—even the second time though.

I will recommend this book to anyone who listens until the end of time. Just so damn fantastic. (Major TWs though for assault, abuse, cult behaviors, r**e, etc. — it’s not a light read)
