Between so many street names, I failed to u" Read more of this review »
In the Café of Lost Youth by Patrick Modiano
"From start to finish, this felt like a foggy day—muted, melancholic, and strangely weightless. It was quietly depressing in the way memories sometimes are. I’d read it again when I’m feeling nostalgic for a version of myself that doesn’t quite exist " Read more of this review »

“Do not fall in love with people like me.
I will take you to museums, and parks, and monuments, and kiss you in every beautiful place, so that you can never go back to them without tasting me like blood in your mouth.
