My absolute favorite book I‘ve EVER read-
I‘m reading it again right now for the 3rd time as a refresher before I read the others in the series.
Cannot say anything else besides “WOW” I‘m actually speechless, that I‘ve recommended this book to all my book-loving friends! 🫶🏻🧿
An incredible read to say the least… we‘re talking #adventure, #spirituality, the #universallaws, and an inside look on how #quantumenergy works!!! LIFE CHANGING!! 🥹
#FeelinTheLove Day 6: Set in Lima, Peru, the author introduces us to young Marito who fell in love with an older woman, a 30-something divorceé, who found Marito‘s teenybopper infatuation amusing until she herself became enamoured by the innocent and untoward and forbidden romance of it all. #SteamyLove with the Mrs Robinson vibe.

I‘m so glad you put graphic novels on your list, @Billypar I love them but it‘s been awhile. I was surprised to find this was fiction. Weaving together the narrator‘s life growing up with his current work as a journalist, this is a compelling story. I do wish there were more about the clowns - it felt there was more to their story.
