this book does have its moments of “ah yes, lest i forget this book is written by a Man” but we carry on

i love when i read a book and it’s so clear that the author has a certain whimsy about life that i need to get on asap

I—

next bus book!

we’re speed running this because i CANNOT pack more books in my suitcase

“Is there a way back home for those who have lost everything?”

“I’m the first in my family to pull up roots. … I’d left a trail of destruction in my own wake.”

“Memory picks me up by the scruff of the neck. “Listen here,” it says and shakes me until spring rewinds.”

“If I could reach the edge of the sky…I could touch them, the souls of the dead, and then. Then I might know how to cry.”

“Death had happened, but it had been folded into a tiny secret and hidden inside a drawer no one would open again.”

“I have not understood grace, and yet I have longed for it.”

“They long for roads that will take them nowhere as much as they long for ones that might take them back home.”

“Our house could never be clean enough, no matter how much we polished it with our sadness.”

The writing in this book is so surprisingly poetic and well done I’m in awe!!!

It’s simply hot gossip and so unrealistic that I can’t look away

all of these people are god awful and yet. i can’t stop reading because it’s like hot gossip

so pissed that the plot is getting good/showing real potential NOW at the end of the last book like are you joking me

once again flying through the book

might as well finish the series
