“‘Sometimes,’ said Julia, ‘I feel the past and the future pressing so hard on either side that there’s no room for the present at all.’”

Delicious, funny, and heart wrenching.

Sebastian :,(((( Unexpected and bittersweet (but mostly bitter)

Usually I'm not a fan of classic books, but holy cow this book was perfect. The characters were quirky and tragic, the atmosphere was beautiful, and the second and third parts of the book felt like a beautifully tragic homecoming. Perfect book, no complaints.
