There's Always This Year: On Basketball and Ascension by Hanif Abdurraqib

4.75

emotional reflective sad medium-paced

---

this book was so beautiful. i don't remember —or even know— if i had ever read such a beautiful book. i give it a 4.75 with an asterisk, because this could totally be a 5, but I just need to digest the last "quarter" better.
