You read this book and you feel the earth shatter and break apart under your feet and reassemble like it was a test of your alertness. You read this book and you’ll feel like a piece of you is missing and you could search for it in yourself and everyone you’ve ever known, and feel more whole than you’ve ever felt in your life. A beautiful read.
