2) David Arnold’s novels are filled with gorgeous, insightful quotes that you’re sure were written just for you—so have a pen handy!

I’m in awe of the way @roofbeam told this story. The characters and motifs, the plot twists, the big questions and big answers…I went through 2 whole ink pens underlining words and phrases. This is my new favorite book. Genius, genuine, gorgeous. 5/5 #mosquitoland #davidarnold pic.twitter.com/Etrh0I3BcL
