"Liz said to Roz she was so happy it made her afraid. 'How could anything possibly be as wonderful?' she whispered, afraid to be overheard - by whom? No one was anywhere near. What she meant was, and Roz knew she did, that such an intense happiness must have its punishment."

Oh geez, I don't know how I feel about this book exactly. I wasn't expecting to like it but the further I read on, the more I got sucked in. And it's a very unique book because it was sooo taboo without an ounce of sleaze or any sexual scenes/descriptions. The writing style is also very different from what I'm used to as the author uses A LOT of commas.

I wouldn't have minded a longer book but funnily, at the same time, I think the length was just nice.

Now I wanna watch the movie 😂
