I was sorting through my TBR shelf like you do at 12 AM on a school night when you have homework you need to finish for the next day, and I noticed this was on there?? But I've definitely read it and loved it? I'm not sure how it failed to end up shelves properly on my goodreads, and I'm kind of sad this happened because I don't remember when I read this first. All I remember is falling in love instantly.

It's a short read, and it's magical and lyrical and surreal. It's the kind of book I aspire to write (and would use as a comp title in querying if it wasn't so old *regretful sigh*). The Netflix movie actually did a decent job adapting from the book, but there will always be that reverent magic that exists in the pure literary form, untouched by film. The illustrations in this are unique as well, and the whole book overall is just a really interesting experience.

Go read this book. Go, be not like me and shelve it correctly. (And also do your homework at sane hours of the night.)
