to be left crying and staring at the wall, wishing you could go back and live once again in the pages of a book, takes a certain type of story.
to be a reader, is something beautiful, and extraordinary, and wondrous; to experience the journey of another's life in such a way we can't accomplish in reality. but even more beautiful, and extraordinary, and wondrous, is to experience how a story can make us feel the deepest emotions, so much so, that we can't explain it, no matter how hard we try.
The Invisible Life of Addie Larue by V. E. Schwab, you have consumed my whole being and made me feel understood on a level i didn't think was possible, and i would sell my soul, to experience the feeling of reading you for the first time again.
