Izzy at the End of the World by K.A. Reynolds
"This book has a plot, but that’s so not the point. It filled me with an anxious grief I have not felt since I read A Monster Calls. K.A. Reynolds does a masterful job of keeping the reader on edge - not in a jump scare way, but something deeper. Some" Read more of this review »

“This book is about to be a terrible mockery of Autism full of savant syndrome crap 🙄”

I've been burned many times before when it comes to Autism representation in fiction.

“What choice did she have? Adults always did what they wanted, despite their children's sensible suggestions.”
K.A. Reynolds, The Land of Yesterday

“I think everyone might have secret lanterns inside them. Lanterns that, when we're especially sad or scared, might go dark and need help lighting again. Sometimes it's the care of our family and friends that brings back our spark; other times it's the care we give ourselves. Either way, once we're relit, I think we can help reignite someone else. . . . If we work together, I know we can make it.”
K.A. Reynolds, The Land of Yesterday

“Now the world had narrowed down to this: Tuesday hated Cecelia and Cecelia hated it back.”
K.A. Reynolds, The Land of Yesterday

Umberto Eco, The Mysterious Flame Of Queen Loana

“Eleanor was right. She never looked nice. She looked like art, and art wasn't supposed to look nice; it was supposed to make you feel something.”
Rainbow Rowell, Eleanor & Park

“And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music.”
Friedrich Nietzsche

“Anyone can love a thing because. That's as easy as putting a penny in your pocket.
But to love something despite. To know the flaws and love them too. That is rare and pure and perfect.”
Patrick Rothfuss, The Wise Man's Fear

“You have witchcraft in your lips, there is more eloquence in a sugar touch of them than in the tongues of the French council; and they should
