how do i explain how much i have loved this book? i feel like my heart has been violently ripped out of my body and then lovingly placed back.
i genuinely cannot put into words how this book has made me feel, this was the epitome of perfect fantasy to me. every little piece of this story had be flipping pages (virtually) at a frantic pace so i could solve all of the mysteries but, simultaneously, i found myself dreading the next page, knowing i was closer to its end.
i absolutely adore every single character, written to a flawed perfection that made them all so real, like i was there with them (i feel like i could very well be one of the cats). erin morgenstern, you have just bewitched me (body and soul — aha, nice).
this book is up there, hand in hand, with “the invisible life of addie la rue”, my sweet, sweet children that make me (over)think about time and fate and magic and our purpose in life, in this earth.
i’ll never get over the fact that eleanor is named after beautiful eleanor from “haunting of hill house”, i think that was just the cherry on top.
