Having trouble locking in on this one but I’ve heard incredible things

For some reason I’m reading a ton of books this year about parents who lost a child

diggin it so far

Holding my interest so far!

Cute so far

too many physical descriptions of harbors for my taste but I know something real messed up is gonna happen and I kinda wanna see it

I just love boy friendship stories so much

I’m continuing to ration this book because I genuinely love it so much

Men suck!!!!

Couldn’t put this down.

I think the osprey stuff could have been cut.

apparently this author committed seppuku 😮

nom nom nom (that’s me eating this up)

this is effed up

#1 was good, #2 was great, on to 3 of 4. I am separating art from artist here. Why do people suck when they can write so well…

like all of my favorite books (of which I am already pretty sure this will be in the ranks), I fear I am in love with one of the characters

This is good

Romantic so far

I know this is a retelling of the most famous tragedy of all time so I shouldn’t be surprised, but dang this is tragic!!

hooked

when you’re wondering who these characters are and then you remember the name of the book

gonna finish this today :,,,,,)

“the purpose of evil was to survive it”

ok nvm this is good

“the oldest and most devastating pain there is: not the pain of childhood, but the remembrance of it”

how does she write like this

“Now there seemed to be some kind of wet light traveling over his legs and stomach with a deeply attractive smell. It wound itself—this wet light—all about him, splashing and running into his skin...

Everything is going to be all right, it said. Knowing that it was so he closed his eyes and sank back into the bright hole of sleep.”

I feel the need to reread already

"She got out of bed and lit the lamp to look in the mirror. There was her face, plain brown eyes, three braids and the nose her mother hated. She looked for a long time and suddenly a shiver ran through her.
'I'm me,' she whispered. 'Me.'"
