The books I give 5s to are, to me, books that found a human emotion that is so hard to explain they had to write a story about to convey it. And it feels so personal. And yet the story is wild and dark but the plot is subtle and almost gives peaceful dark? academia vibes if it weren’t for the kids future. I really enjoyed the friendship even though it was messy, but to me it reminded me of college and my own nostalgia and fears even though the story is def nowhere near my college life. If you’re feeling nostalgic this is going to hit a certain part of you for sure.
