Suitable for discerning readers, it has a long run, and there's nothing similar on any platform—it's almost too good.

    During the meeting, my mind was still preoccupied with the plot. What's most captivating about this book is its incredibly detailed portrayal of everyday life. There are no contrived dramatic ups and downs for the sake of drama; it's simply the process of two people going from polite to familiar, from tentative to inseparable, yet every little detail is incredibly touching.
