after all these years this is still a five star read to me. like it’s genuinely one of my favourite books of all time, the way it’s written, the characters and just the way they’re portrayed in different ways. consumed by their guilt and the consequences of their actions it’s just sooooo perfect. 

but also rereading this nearly 10 years after my first time reading it, me being older now than the characters versus back then, just gives you a whole new perspective on some things? it’s wild. love it.
