i think the reason i’ve gone my whole life without a favorite book is because i have been waiting for this one to find me.
it has been so long since a novel has effected me in this way! i would go from giggling and laughing to full blown tears! and god the writing is, in my opinion, so beautiful in the way that just honestly feels so human. like i could imagine the people in my life randomly dropping lines like that, which honestly made it hit that much harder for me!
to speak briefly on the characters so as to not spoil them, I LOVE THEM ALL TO BITS. even the ones that i started out lowkey hating, slowly burrowed their way into my heart. every single one of them.
i also absolutely adore the writing style! (and if anyone knows of books with styles resembling these pls share with the class) there was never one moment where i wasn’t engaged!
i wish i could read it for the first time once more but since i cant will genuinely recommend this to every person i see to see how they react during their first read!
