“My heart is with all of them, and I think that, even if we forget each other, we’ll remember in our dreams.”
as someone who was (and is really) obsessed with IT 2017, reading this book felt like a wild ride. the high rating is probably because of how much i love the losers and how attached i am to them and their story because there are some wild ass things stephen king writes. extremely questionable at times and it really makes you wonder why. but at its core, this is a story of love and friendship and belief and trauma and he does such an amazing job of showcasing that.
