5 stars because it is so unique. I was amazed at the number of feelings and ideas that I've had that this author described and gave a name to. Took me a while to get through it because there was no "how will this book end" urgency, but I'm so glad I picked it up. The writing is simply beautiful. I marked it up on the Kindle but I think this is one I'd like to own and dog ear and highlight and pass around to my friends.

This was a beautiful look at language and words - findings words for niche moments and feelings in a lovely way.

Not exactly what I expected. More like reading through a dictionary than a book.
