Status Updates From Scattered Showers: Lluvias ...

I love Rainbow Rowell and this has become a bedtime story treat for me every night.
I enjoy how she writes dialogues and falling in love as a young person ❤️

This has been so enjoyable, especially her spin on an end of times siren tale, so cheeky yet poignant in a way. This author is clearly a great dialog writer

Beth
I'm not very good at setting things aside.

Jennifer
Me neither.

Beth
I'm good at centering them.

Jennifer
Same.

Beth
Focusing on them until they take up my entire field of vision.

The way Beth has always had so many pieces of me... I love to love her. Also, yes, I'm reading these stories out of order! So what!

“George Lucas doesn’t even know what he intended,” Elena said. “He can’t even decide who shot first.”

I remember reading the Kindred Spirits way back when and feeling all kinds of emotional because it got so well how I have felt about Star Wars since I fell in love with them.I felt so understood. So seen. So not alone in my head. Each time feels like the first time 😉

When Owen pulled back, he ran his hand along Libby's hairline, untucking the curl from her ear and winding it around his finger. "I didn't think you wanted this," he said.
"You never asked."
"So I wasn't supposed to ask you to prom; I was supposed to ask
if I could kiss you?"
"It's always better to be specific, Owen."

These stories are -so unbearably- everything good in this wordy world! 🩵
