You said, 'I love you.' Why is it that the most unoriginal thing we can say to one another is still the thing we long to hear? 'I love you' is always a quotation. You did not say it first and neither did I, yet when you say it and when I say it we speak like savages who have found three words and worship them.

This book is a beautiful exploration of love, sex, sexuality and the obsessive manner that love can manifest.

One of the reasons why I have given this book a five star rating is because of how gorgeous the writing is. I was constantly underlining things in this book.
