Michael J. DeLuca: I’ve read my generously inscribed copy of @kellylink.bsky.social’s THE BOOK OF LOVE across an ocean, a sea, and a lake. It’s battered, the gold embossing is marred, and I spilled water on p.517. I feel bad, but I think a lesson of this dreamily, cruelly wise book is the damage is kind of the point?

This is exactly how it’s meant to be read. ❤️

I like when a book I'm reading gets a bit dinged up. Shows we've been on a journey together. We've been through some stuff
