I’m not sure me in the past would have appreciated this as much as I can at this time in my life. As they say, books reach us at the right time. This one certainly did.
It’s a story of love, loss, redemption, and trauma. It’s life and death. Wonderful, wonderful book.

In advance, I was weary of its form - through letters, but it worked out surprisingly well. And I'm also becoming more and more of a sucker for stories in which the real love story is platonic. This is such a rich story, and I can’t wait to see how it translates into films.
