It's taken me so long to write anything about this book because I've been so busy, but I haven't stopped thinking about it since I started reading it. I was so excited to take my walk every day so I could listen to this absolute and nothing short of a masterpiece. I don't even have a lot to say about it except that it's perfect. It changed my life in ways I understand right now and in ways I'll understand years from now.
It doesn't matter if it's true, it only matters what it started within the reader, and for me, it started something big.
