Lie with Me by Philippe Besson

5.0

My whole entire being is spinning. I can’t even form the proper sentences to describe all that is happening inside of me. I will never forget this story, that I’m sure of. There’s so much wisdom encompassed in this book that it’s astounding and makes my head spin just seeing all of the puzzle pieces. I know exactly why I was lead to this book and I’ll always be grateful for it. This is a life-changer.

At the beginning of the book, it reads like a careless novel without much of importance. The way it’s written is almost in a detached way. Like there’s something missing. And the further you read, the more you understand the gravity of this story. Of these words. It eventually crystallizes and it hits you right in the heart. I don’t think I’ll ever read anything like this again.
