“Are they?” said Julian. “From this angle . . .”
“Worrying,” said Paul, “means you’re afraid it’s going to happen. Ruminating is when you know it will, if it hasn’t happened already. One is neurotic, the other is fatalistic, and fatalism is supported by evidence. It isn’t the same.”

"All they were- all they had ever been- was a pair of sunflowers who each believed the other was the sun"
There's nothing more I love than a book which sculpts its characters intricately, with each scene and description meaning something. There's symbolism and parallels all over, which I'm a sucker for. Paul and Julian's love gave me both the high and disgust- it's raw, bittersweet and tragic in a way that makes my heart ache.
I also loved the unpredictable nature of it, how whenever I thought something greater (and more disturbing for that matter) would've happened it completely steered in the other direction, and vice versa- how that one event of simply walking through the forest suddenly became so violent.
And also... My poor baby Julian, oh god. Move Paul, it's MY turn
