coming back 9 hours later to say that i finished alchemised, wrote that review, tried to go about my day, and then 10 minutes later started crying. i just want to be clear that i was not being hyperbolic. i was useless all day today. i am going through something so unspeakable.

i'm honestly sitting here like, do i just have to swear off fantasy romance forever now because none of them are ever going to be as beautiful and haunting as that book was? is this what finally saves me?
