Notes:
- Took a little while to get invested into the characters but after about halfway I fell in love with them.
- The prose was stunning! Insanely good.
- This was such an ethereal exploration of a relationship, mental health, what it means to have impact on others and the many nuances in the process of finding human connection.
- Much of this book's impact for me was that the experience of reading it matched the experience of Aldo and Reagan falling in love — an otherworldly feeling so as to render the finer details quite blurred and distant. Basically I loved this book but don't remember much objectively outside the fever-dream reading experience.
