Review: The book that got me back into reading... - After growing up as an avid reader and majoring in literature at college, I recently lost touch with reading and picked up this book based on the glowing recs I saw online. I've now read this book thrice back to back because it's just so well written and so beautiful. Very easily one of my favorite books now and I cannot wait to read more from this author. Highly recommend!
