2.0

An aloof kid wanders around trying to find a treasure he’s only halfway interested in while learning about his heart, or some shit. He meets a lady, they fall in love after knowing each other for a handful of hours, and then he abandons her to fuck around with sheep. Not the best book. Read The Little Prince instead.
