I recently read this novel and it transformed me in the best way possible. I loved it for how much it made me feel, without needing a complicated or dramatic storyline… the author made the silences and unspoken moments do all the talking. It has quickly become one of my favourite books and I’d love any recommendations similar to this; the emotions, heartbreak, writing style, anything!
I read a review on it that spoke about how this novel explores the idea of a ‘life unlived’ and I thought that was so interesting; it describes Raif’s character perfectly and in many ways I related to that idea of coming alive with a specific person, but not being brave enough to declare or fight for that love and that life..
