I promise I am reading this as slowly as humanly possible so I can actually read it at the beach as intended, but let's see if I can actually hold out or not.

Yo, Florentino is toxic as hell. Leave that woman alone. (Beautiful prose tho, so slay.)

I’m upset I have to put this down to do real people things today wtf . I’m pissed i waited so long to read this, but happy new year.

finally got through all my library loans now let’s get down to business

Not to be dramatic, but this might already be the best book I’ve read this year and I’ve only read the introduction. Impeccable writing. Lyrical, raw, honest, and captures sentiments of family, culture, history and place. I am blown away and the only reason I’m pausing here is because I realize I need to buy my own copy immediately (the one I’m reading is from the library.)

About to give this 5 stars for Snortorious P.I.G. alone 🤧

umm… I’ve only read 14 pages (one chapter) and I’m already crying uncontrollably… ahaha. this is so beautiful! wut. KBye.

maaaan. I was excited when my library hold became available (finally!)

started reading it, made it to chapter 3? was loving it.

added to "currently reading" only to find out it's SUPER problematic and inspired by Canada's Sixties Scoop. (Which, is when Indigenous children were forcefully removed from their homes and placed in orphanages) can non-BIPOC ppl stop profiting off BIPOC trauma pls??
