K. Ancrum never ceases to amaze me. Her writing style is so choppy yet effective. You feel sort of thrown into Elias and Victor's world but in the end everything starts to all make sense and come together. After finishing I had to r" Read more of this review » |

“She had the swagger of a girl. She blushed like a boy. She had a girl’s toughness. She has a boy’s gentleness. She was as meaty as a girl. She was as graceful as a boy. She was as brave and handsome and rough as a girl. She was as pretty and delicate and dainty as a boy. She turned boys' heads like a girl. She turned girls' heads like a boy. She made love like a boy. She made love like a girl. She was so boyish it was girlish, so girlish it was boyish, she made me want to rove the world writing our names on every tree. I had simply never found someone so right. Sometimes this shocked me so much that I was unable to speak.”

“She was too quiet, or she was too loud. She took things too seriously, or not seriously at all. She was too sensitive, or too cold-hearted. She hated with every fiber of her being, or loved with all her heart. There was no in-between for her. It was either all or nothing. She wanted everything, but in the end, she settled for nothing.”

You deserve all the praise! I started reading it early in the evening yesterday, with plans of stopping around 1AM to sleep.
Yeah... that didn’t happen. I had to finish it. Next thing I knew, I turned the last page, it was 5AM, and I was wrecked. I wound up crawling through my bedroom window to sit on my roof and decompress with a cigarette (or four). This book— It hit me. Hard. That doesn’t happen often. So, again, thank you!
