Kindle Notes & Highlights
By age ten, I’d already read hundreds, if not thousands, of books. But that was the first time a book provoked a visceral, gut-wrenching, puddle-of-tears reaction. Before that day, I didn’t know a book could do that to a person. I didn’t know I could care so much about events that happened on the page. I didn’t know an author could convince me—if only for a moment—that what happened there was real.
The best books move you, drawing out the full range of emotions from the reader, and sometimes that includes breaking your heart. Not every reader enjoys this experience.
