I enjoyed the vibes but I found it a bit overwritten and with too much glorification for the suffering artist.

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.

What a beautiful,brilliant book. Was recommended by a bookstore in Bath and the writing is poetic and lyrical. Only reason it's not a 5 star is sometime the lyrical writing goes on a tad bit long. But the characters, setting, and story are so alive. Will definitely be reading this every spring/summer.
