I felt exactly the same way when I read this! "The Song of Achillies" was the first book I picked up after graduating high school and not touching a book for years. It was the thing that made me remember I loved reading- it kind of feels like you're getting away with something you shouldn't be allowed to because it's just so pleasant.
It's nice to be challenged by literature of course but sometimes I don't want reading to feel like work, and she does such a good job with that.
