🚢
this book is such a wild ride from vigorous indulgence to immaturity banging up against reality to a gorgeous love story and war and religion and loss and loneliness.
First time through this book, I couldn't get enough of Charles's and Sebastian's college partying and their deep friendship/romance.
The last time through, I absolutely lost myself in Charles's adult love story, climaxing onboard the ship.
And then this line:
Our two lives, so long widely separate, now being knit to one.
it's also really funny—there's a lot of good dry humor all the way through
