I can confidently say that this is the best book I’ve ever read. I knew a little bit going in, but I’m so glad I decided to remain somewhat in the dark about the story. The writing of this book is some of the most beautiful I have ever had the pleasure of experiencing. These are the types of words I dream of writing and of receiving. Red and Blue have my whole heart
and the thought of them fighting side by side with all the time in the world to experience each other brought me so much joy and comfort that I started crying as soon as I finished the last page.
This is a relatively quick read, so please, if anyone is on the fence about reading this, do yourself the biggest favor in the world and do it.
