Books too perfect to review

You know how there's some books that you finish and your reaction is a mix of I love this and I can't deal with this and this has temporarily broken me and  I can't put down in words my utter love for this?


This will be a page with these books on it. I might attempt to do a full post for these, but for the time being, just know that they are awesome. I'll update this page as and when I come across these books. Because there will be more.
