I've seen the movie. I knew what I'd get myself into. And still, I vastly underestimated how much this would hit me nonetheless. This is both a soul-crushing hug and a punch that slams the air out of your lungs. Beautifully written prose that subtly expose you to the mighty forces of love, aching, and dread of not being able to escape who you are.

But if you can't fix it you got a stand it.
