Alex Nonymous is on page 200 of 310 of Someone You Can Build a Nest In: All the negative reviews for this book are critiquing the realism which like, absolutely fair critique if you go in expecting that and if anything, more proof we should let things that aren't fairy tale retellings market themselves as fairytales. Terrible horror/fantasy logic & character motives. EXCELLENT fairytale nomnom Someone You Can Build a Nest In by John Wiswell (Goodreads Author) progress:	Error rating book. Refresh and try again.

Quotes by Alex Nonymous (?)

“The downside to grief is that it makes you desperate for everything to stay the way it’s supposed to be.

The upside to grief is how good you get at pretending that things still are the way they’re supposed to be.”

Alex’s Quotes

“There was never a girl who floated. Girls were not build for the sky. So, if the floating part was undeniable, then the fault must have lied at the end of the title.
There was once a sometimes-floating-something. There was sometimes a floating nothing. There was sometimes a hurricane of a girl attacking the ground but then, that didn’t feel quite human either, did it?”
