"It kicks the breath out of me, kicks bright light into me" is how I feel about this book. This book kept handing my soul back to me, looking and feeling a little better each time. Jellicoe Road is the only other book that's made me feel this exact way before, jealous and heartbroken and filled totally up. Something here about loving Jude like I love Taylor (Markham in JR), not to mention OSCAR and JONAH (Griggs in JR), my God, this book was so romantic!! And Noah and Brian!! And DADS!!! What a beautiful, magical book. What a high bar for literally everything else I read this year.
