Lie with Me by Philippe Besson
4.0
emotional reflective fast-paced

Surprised by how much I enjoyed this. Took me a little bit to get into, but I couldn’t put it down by the halfway point. A beautiful, reflective story about 2 boys who fall in love in 1984 France but, of course, cannot spend their lives together. Besson’s storytelling is exquisite and Ringwald’s translation left me breathless.
