I love love! And this book displays it in such a beautifully complex way. Love is present within so many characters of the book, not just romantic ones. Having the characters grow so beautifully, dealing with their hardships and finding their way through adulthood, figuring out their place in the world… it’s just life. So much of what you observe every day described so thoroughly, it changes the way you see things you’ve taken for granted.
