"To be loved is to be changed", this quote is perfect for this book.
Under the Whispering Door has been sitting on my bookshelf for forever now. I mostly didn't want to be disappointed (I definitely wasn't this is by far one of the best book I've read this year) and I also didn't want to be heartbroken (I wasn't, not really). Even though I cried a lot, it wasn't necessarily sad, but the sincerity of it all got to me and well I'm only human so I cried. This book oozes love and T. J. Klune's writing mesmerizes me.
I'll never be able to drink tea the same way... I also never thought I 'd cry reading a bunch of metaphor about it but there's a first to everything, no?
This was insanely therapeutic, it makes you think and it's sad and yet it's warm and comforting. You know what, it was healing.
