5.0

This is one if those books where I genuinely feel like my view on life is just a little brighter, a little more colorful and a little better after having read it.

The relationship that the two main characters have is everything I want in life.

And the poetic way the novel was written speaks to me in every way. 

I genuinely love this book.
