My favourite book. I’m so in love with this book. It’s absolutely beautiful and heartbreaking simultaneously. Absolutely in love with it. A book everyone should have read. The movie was incredible too. Patrick and Tom have my heart.

What a brilliant, beautiful, heartbreaking story.  I usually prefer plot-based stories to character-based, but this one captured me completely.
