i will share my GEM of a book i found when i was 13 and we stopped at a random thrift store for $1 in the middle of nowhere desert.
*In Lucia’s Eyes by Arthur Japin*
I’ve never read a more fantastic novel that made me feel everything. definitely slightly risqué here and there, but 0% smut or erotica. the overarching theme and message teaches you different lessons and offers ideas you’ve never thought to think (?). always remember to read the entire thing before you decide if you love it or hate it. i don’t think there’s any chance of an in-between feeling you’re left with in the end.
