i once loved you, now i don’t know you at all.

this is one of the most beautiful books i’ve read in a long time :(
i love this book with all my heart and my soul. it is my new favorite thing. i don’t know how i’ll recover.

the prose was so lyrical and moving. it's rare to find something that resonates so deeply.

you love him? geryon thought about that. in my dreams i do. your dreams? dreams of the old days. :( :(
