This is beautiful, this is lovely, this is adorable, this is perfect. I love this book. I love the characters so much. I love Bea and Jamie. I loved watching them fall in love. They are adorable and I love them.

Reading this book was a ride. I've seen the movie, so I know what happens, but I was still on the edge of my seat. There are a lot of issues in this book including sexism, homophobia, and transphobia. I didn't enjoy that part of the book. But the rest of it was good. It's honestly quite a brilliant story.

All I'm gonna say is that those punk ass bitches got what was coming for them. And I feel bad for Carrie.

The love in this book is incredible. There is hardly any romantic love yet but the love Tohru has for all the Sohma family is so heartwarming. The love Yuki and Kyo have for her makes me so soft. I just love all these characters so much. They are all so unique and well fleshed out. I know them all so well. And I love them.

The letter Wesley wrote Bianca??? I'm crying. Like, what??? That's the most romantic thing I've ever read. Shut up. I love it.

This was a hard book to rate and review. I've been off and on reading this for almost two years. It's not that I didn't like it, I just always found something better to read. This was such a complicated book. I have complicated feelings about it. Toru was duller than a butter knife. And I hated how the only thing he seemed to like about Naoko was her body. I don't believe that he loved her. He lusted her. Big difference. It felt very objectifying whenever he talked about Naoko. The way mental health is talked about is...interesting. I'm not sure Murakami gets it. And I don't think he understands women either. Stick to writing about your dull, little men, sir and leave women out of it.
