4.5

this took me a while to get through! not because i didn't enjoy reading it, but because it was just honest in a way that made me feel almost guilty for not giving it my undivided attention. mishima makes it hard to ever step away even when u've put the book down.
tucking my heart into the pages, alongside the one there now, until i'm ready to share in this ache again
