The Giant's House by Elizabeth McCracken

5.0

I adored this book. While the premise sounds a little weird and creepy and...pedophilia-esque, it's really none of those things. Librarian Peggy Cort's love for James Sweatt, the tallest boy (then man) in the world, begins when he's only a teenager, but it's pure and selfless and beautiful. Honestly, it's the kind of love we would all benefit from: someone seeing us for who we are inside, not just for our bodies or what we can offer them.
