When you want and want and want… This list was started last year so I’ll be adding to it! Books where the desire was tangible through the screen of my Kindle. Characters so lovesick I could feel their pining like a punch to the gut. Yearning never tasted so sweet!
-yearn has to be explicitly & exquisitely stated -yearn cannot be followed closely with receiving the love, because how can you yearn if it’s immediately reciprocated?!
