I haven't even finished reading the chapter but I started tearing up because of Caleb and I wanted to document it. I love you Cal

"don't let me be mean"

caleb... please... let's not repeat history

"You're getting well [..] Some people think it's an insult to the glory of their sickness to get well [..] Everyone gets well if he waits around"


"Isn't it too simple? I'm always afraid of simple things" - "It isn't simple at all [..] It's desperately complicated. But at the end there's light"



this whole chapter got me staring at the ceiling

I pray that the universe will never put someone like cathy on my path

just finished part one my god my heart is pounding I haven't felt like this while reading a book in a very long time this story is eating at my brain


also cathy terrifies me these sort of characters make me feel so unsettled it's uncanny

this book is going to change my life I can already feel it. I can count on the fingers of one hand the times I was so deeply touched by a story and this will be one of those

sometimes when I read I get the feeling that that book is going to alter my way of thinking and looking at the world (so far I can safely say that it happened twice with those that are now my favorite books of all times). I'm sure it will happen with this one as well. every page is so beautiful, I find myself not wanting to finish the page because of how thoughtfully written and crafted every sentence is wow
