Status Updates From Milagro en los Andes

This shit is so fucking sad but inspiring

the plane crashed. the way nando describes it is so beautifully written, and narrates it in such a vivid description

holy shit. i had never realized these boys grew up with each other, all united by rugby, where they essentially played as one. such loss is truly stunning. then nando losing his mother, and protecting susy, oh my word. the frigid air, him drscribing the andes as hell, is all so encapsulating of the direness that siruation called for

omg nando’s skull cracked and him pressing on it and feeling his brain..? what the hell???? this is so surreal to read this

finally getting to this book!! i consumed so much media on this book that i feel like i knre the firsthand experience. its so weird to seeit be narrated and woven in first person instead of just reading a wikipedia page. this makes death and the battle with morality so much more daunting
