This book was a knife

5 stars

This book was a knife crafted, if not deliberately to wound me, then at least to measure the specific length and distance between my rib cage and heart.

The Autobiography of Red is both heartbreakingly beautiful, and heartbreaking. Prepare to be hurt, and prepare to want more.

"His eye traveled to the clock at the front of the room and he fell into the pool of his favorite question."
