“They are my take on yearning. You see, the moth is darkness, chasing the butterfly, craving the brightness of it. But when the moth is the one running, the butterfly, being light, chases it in return, unable to exist without the moth, because without darkness there is no light.”

I’m really not sure why I didn’t finishing this book faster. I always pick it up and always put it down but this time I finished it and I can’t be any happier. This book broke my heart and put it back together. 

This is the spinoff book that come after The Fabric of Our souls. It follows two mentally unwell phantoms Langston Nevers and Ophelia Rose who lost their way and are trying to find the light. 

This book is told in dual perspective and in a way that you can feel every emotion. It was totally raw, sad, honest and at some points it broke my heart. I will definitely recommend you to read this book but first read Fabric of our souls.
