Dear Friend, from My Life I Write to You in Your Life by Yiyun Li

5.0

I am in love with this book. I have never felt so understood by someone I never met. This book voiced thoughts that I never even knew I took as truth until I saw them on paper. Melodramatic, elaborately poetic, and full of book recommendations... what more could I ask for? I am not usually a fan of memoirs or non fiction, but this is an exception.
A note: this is not a book to read if one is in a good place mentally. It is best for days where one feels nihilistic and lost, aimless or lacking purpose. If I had been in a better mood when I read this, it may not have made such a deep impression.
