The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller
5.0
My eyes are sweating for some reason :'(
The ending of this book left me absolutely shattered, and even though I knew what would happened and I tried to protect my heart from it I just couldn't. You're forced into becoming to invested in these characters and their love for each other and their love for life and want to just be okay that when they fall, so hard, it truly breaks you.
some of the best lines from the book:
"He is half of my soul, as the poets say."
“I could recognize him by touch alone, by smell; I would know him blind, by the way his breaths came and his feet struck the earth. I would know him in death, at the end of the world.”
