The love I have for this book is beyond words. It took me so long to finish but, not because I did not love it, because I didn't want it to end. I didn't want to read when I wasn't in the mood or if I knew I wasn't going to take it in. It is the kind of book that demands your attention for every word so you don't miss its subtleties and wit. 

This book stands unique and beautiful, so it feels wrong to compare this book to others I have read. The way that it finishes is gorgeous and heart-warming, and everything fits into place. The vibes alone are amazing, with books, cats, tea, bees and love. I know that this book is not for everyone but it is a love letter to readers and story lovers who are willing to be swept away to another world without a clue what is happening most of the time. I am so sad it is over but I will be re-reading this soon.
