i missed them so much when i was done with the book. i also realised that this is the kind of book i would have wanted to write, but audrey did it before me. i am not just a little envious. or admiring, really. well done, bloody well done. it kept me awake. and as i said – i miss them.

So I can’t imagine taking forever to read this book, because I definitely stayed up until 4:15 am reading all 518 pages, after I checked it out of the library at 2:11 pm and had to take a two hour break for a Friday dinner. I haven’t stayed up reading that late in forever. It was amazing. I think I even dreamed about it.

Laughing and crying within minutes of each other.

That I can’t even decide what excerpt from the book I want to share says a lot. That I just want to paste the whole book here and explain everything that it meant says even more.

I love when I can’t put a book down even after I’ve finished reading it. And you know when you read or listen to something and you don’t care if other people don’t like it? It’s more than you love it so much you don’t want to share. I just think that is huge.

“I hate to be where she is not, when she is not. And yet, I am always going, and she cannot follow.”

I really realized that it is the saddest novel ever.. i cried and laughed and didnt want it to end and i realized everyone dies and it makes me so sad all over again.
