- goodreads - "Play it for me," he said. Play for me, my dear, and I will hear it. No matter where you go. No matter where I am. I swear it. I swear it..." You know those times when there's a tiny little voice warning you from not doing things? Like when you want to exercise but it whispers that there's chocolate cake in the fridge so... priorities? Or when you want to go to a certain place but that voice makes an appearance and you end up not going only to find out later that some accident happened there? Well ladies and gentlemen. I bow to that little voice. I should've listened and heeded its advice for it is with great sorrow that I write this and tell you that my heart is no more. Why? Because I didn't listen to that little voice when it told me NOT to finish this book until I had the sequel.

- goodreads - The thing about this book is that... it is what it is. Don't try to spin and twist it as anything other than that. Why does art have to be a certain way? Doesn't it stop being art if you do that? I'm not a huge fan of the genre but, honestly. This is one of my favorite reads of the year. I'll hold on to it and share it for as long as I can with as many people as I can. It reads old and new but it was exactly what I needed right now. In the present. Loved it. "Loneliness is a sign you're in desperate need of yourself." I give this book, 5/5 5= ~sobs hard~too good to be true!
