4.5

Might bump this up to a 4.75 or 5 upon further reflection; I kinda want to re-read immediately? Such a beautiful love story. I love E.M. Forster’s writing so much. 

So excited to rewatch the movie now that I understand the three main characters better. I didn’t like the ending the first time, but in the context of the book it’s kind of perfect. The Cambridge bit is still my favorite part - the way Clive and Maurice see each other is SO ROMANTIC! - but I also appreciate the “happy ending.”
