“...it is sad, of course, to forget.
But it is a lonely thing, to be forgotten.
To remember when no one else does.”
I loved this and I'm so glad I read it. I was skeptical, never sure if a few select authors can make me love them over and over and over again. I should have known the answer for V.E. Schwab is, of course, YES! She's moved to the very very small list of autobuy authors for me.
