Lori S. (ourbookaddiction) reviewed on
Sometimes we read books that we love so much we can't even explain in words why. This was one of those books for me. It's not really that the story line was particularly outstanding, but the writing. I don't give 5 star ratings freely, but this book...the writing...I loved it.
Since I can't express verbally why I love this book so much, I will leave you with 5 examples of the love.
"Is it possible to love so desperately that life is unbearable? I don't mean unrequited, I mean being in the love. In the midst of it and desperate. Because knowing it will end, because everything does. End."
"Nothing is designated anymore. If it weren't for Bangley I'd forget my name."
"There is a pain you can't think your way out of. You can't talk it away."
"Grief is an element. It has its own cycle like the carbon cycle, the nitrogen. It never diminishes not ever. It passes in and out of everything."
"Why don't we have a word for the utterance between laughing and crying?"
Brilliant!
