“Let us first of all and before all be kind, then honest, and then—let us never forget one another.”

stole my entire winter break from me! picked this up in high school and gave up before ever meeting the characters or story but, this time, it was every bit as wonderful as i thought it would be, just a pleasure to work through from one end to the other so good ! was basically in tears all through that last chapter, especially the closing pages half at the scene of pure love and friendship half at having to leave alyosha and the rest of them. would love to revisit bits of it later <3
