Most beautiful. A favorite. Will read again. I have a deeper appreciation for Van Gogh as well and the impact art has on our memories and experiences with those we love.

This book was great, emotional but amazing nonetheless!

The relationships are well written, I feel like I could actually connect with the feelings of the characters!

Okay this is more of a pet peeve, nothing against the story, but I couldn’t stand the sentences having no quotation marks! It really isn’t that big of a deal and it was probably just a design choice but still!

(I am so sleepy when making this review, my bad for any mistakes lol)

‘It was simple, it was daft, it was beautiful, it was Michael.’

I won’t describe the plot as I truly believe you should go into this book blind - the back cover only says it’s about Ellis and Michael and then a girl called Annie arrives. The reading experience, getting to understand the story, events fitting into place and character interactions are so worthwhile, it was of the upmost pleasure to read this book. I say that, but oh my did Winman give me all the feels and I can confirm I cried multiple times at this little book. Beautifully raw and heartbreaking writing adds to this but there’s also many lovely parts too - it’s quite the rollercoaster. I know I have to give this book a reread (and it’ll be horrible knowing what’s to come as I do so) to cement my thoughts because in many ways I’m at a loss for words after finishing it. I do know it’s instantly became a new favourite of mine and I’m extremely grateful to have read this book. Please read it, you will not regret it.
