This new, refreshing version of Anastasia Romanov's story was an absolutely thrilling read. I initially purchased Romanov simply out of love for the author (go to her bookstagram and you'll fall in love, too). But ten pages into the story, and I was hooked. The writing is so eloquent and captivating, and the story is gracefully vivid. And now, here I am, roughly 36 hours of owning the book, and I'm done! I was unable to put it down, even to sleep. It was a journey—one where I was not ashamed to cry in public or even gasp aloud.
If you're still not convinced, just read the aside. A stubborn book-hating friend of mine read the aside, and she "got chills."
I don't know how to finish this without simply screaming: Read this book! Go! Right now! Buy it and savor it and cherish it!
(P.S. It's just as beautiful on the inside as it is on the outside)
