You indeed eat with your eyes first, and in this case, I started tasting stars and beauty. In other words, the cover was captivating and beautiful. And when I could finally close my mouth and sink into this haunting beauty, the words were no different.

"The only reason people come to live in this small town is to hide or to die."

You start with the same characters you've most likely seen in other novels: the popular dude, the girl's handsome best friend, the girl who the popular dude acts like is invisible (but I honestly absolutely love this girl especially because she is a living anime character), the super smart dude best friend. But what makes this stand out is the description of the characters. These descriptions are what breathe life to the characters, making them materialize right next to me.

The prose is so beautiful. Loving someone but not wanting to clip their wings greatly resonates and makes my heart ache.

Unfortunately, this excerpt was so short I wasn't able to get a good idea of the characters, their wants, their drives, and their secrets.

But the author writes so relatably about a topic that most everyone can relate to. Loneliness. I love it and I can't wait to read more.
