this book is like the temptation of the burning flame—impossible to turn away from; painful to the touch.

It’s hard not to fall in love with the only blanket in winter. And love, Grand did.
IM SO DEVASTATED THAT I FINISHED THIS WAAHHH 😖 tiffany mcdaniel is the IT girl for me now.. both of her books are so magically written, so familiar and so truthfully poignant i feel like i’m leaving family when i finish her stories.
they are STORIES, there’s a whole world inside this book, hundreds of people and places and feelings that were so REAL and fleshed out. i honestly had no idea where this book was going but i loved every page and chapter more than the last. not sure i’ve ever felt such love and fondness for a fictional story character before Grand & im sure i’ll think about his character long after finishing this book.
just such beautiful, rich, quality writing with twists and turns, characters with souls, reflection, red herrings and dead ends. i already want to read again IM SERIOUS
