for someone who goes to university to talk about literature and creative writing all day, this book has me at a loss for words.

emma cline is undoubtedly one of the best writers of her generation. her writing is so haunting and mesmerising, i couldn’t put this book down. not a single word was wasted in this, she scratches a little itch in my brain and satisfies all of my musings so perfectly.

evie was the perfect protagonist; so nuanced and developed and complex. i’m trying to put my thoughts about this into words but it was honestly so beautiful and the way i feel about it transcends any meaningful articulation.
