[livejournal.com profile] aina_baggins rec'd it a little while back. [livejournal.com profile] slipperieslope and [livejournal.com profile] grievous_angel rhapsodized about it.

Do read As Meat Loves Salt if you're in need of a good, long cry. Read it if angst, lots and lots of it, and a love that hinges on obsessiveness and possesiveness are your kinks. Read it if you have a thing for big men/small men *glances at a certain somebody*

And read it if you're ready to howl and scream and beat yourself up ( and the book too, oh yes, that's what I feel like doing right now ).

Btw, Jacob is tall, very tall, and dark and handsome with a *coughs* booming voice.

And Ferris is small and slender, is full-lipped and has a gentle voice.

You know, just to make it easy for you to decide whether you want to read this book or not *g*

For me, there is only one 'Jacob' and only one 'Ferris' :)

He DID say that!!!!! Jeebus, he really betrayed Jacob. And ditto, of course.

I do feel better now, thank you. Have chatted a bit with Tales also, although she refuses to read something if it's gonna make her cry. Wimp!

Uh-huh. They betrayed each other 'coz they were too stubborn and too egoistic too see that they had something good between them.

I love stories that make me cry! It shows how good a book is if it's able to move its readers to tears. Or make them fall out of the chair lauighing. Or drive them insane with frustration.

There is no question - it was a great story because it drew me in and moved me deeply. You know what? It was also funny. I found Jacob very funny at times in the way he would describe things.

BTW, Talesinbloom says "Hi." But she won't read the book. Too sad.

*kicks stubborn Jacob and Ferris*

"You are my sweetest downfall" sounds like she sang. OMG.

Tales says if she reads that book we must all weep with her. Because she will write sad emo Orlijah fic with no sex, just goth clothing and makeup.

Told me I was beautiful and came into my bed
Oh I cut his hair myself one night
A pair of dull scissors in the yellow light
And he told me that I'd done alright
And kissed me 'til the mornin' light, the mornin' light


I will gladly weep with her. And sad emo Orlijah, even with no sex, is just my thing.

I know, I know. The Samson thing just called me in the book. That song fits in a striking way.

Sad emo Orlijah... but with smiling through the tears at the end, please!
