It's the first time I've read Patricia Highsmith, and it did not disappoint. There was so much wonderful, luscious, human description about infatuation and love. There was a point where I thought this was going to veer into a different kind of territory knowing what I do about Highsmith as a writer of thrillers, but now I've read she originally published this under a different name and it's less a thriller and much more a romance. It's wonderful and succinct and I believe I'll re-read this again in the future.

I haven't seen the film yet, but I do hope they kept the ending.
