It pains me on a daily basis that I am not a more eloquent person but it wounds me on days like this. I do not have the words to express the utter perfection that is Girl Made of Stars. It feels like an insult to even try, knowing my inevitable failure… so please, would you do me a favour? Just stop what you're doing and go read this book.
