I am amazed by how much is still happening this book reads like a trilogy lmao SO MUCH life is happening and things keep coming back the plot might not be for me but the CRAFT is THERE

Kind of obsessed now and I wish I was reading it physically to take notes
The first 25% was like a 2 which is why I kept DNFing it! Then the next was a 3, and now I’m at a 4 because it’s actually good lmao hahsbsbdbndnd

Okaaaaaay I see you

DNF’d TWICE physically BUT the audio book is better, im almost half way through. I’ve read the other julys so I couldn’t not get through this. But man is it CRINGEY lmao not as in bad writing, great weird Miranda writing, but Davey as a WHOLE my god THE CHOICES MADE. I don’t think I can give this a five, BUT it is entertaining

“But actually, what stops me? A fear of my family-Mother, especially? A clinging to security and material possessions?…”

i used to own almost every cusk book (like 3 years) and because i never got to them i gave them away! And then i bought this on kindle a couple of years ago and attempted to read it twice TWICE! and i can't believe i sold my collection and i cant believe i DNF'd this twice because the writing is actually incredible

Beautiful world building but having a hard time picturing everything ( ebook)

“As if there were no such thing as salvation, only the wooden fossils of the past.“

“She was the most beautiful boy I had ever seen”

Third times the charm? I’ve never gotten into Ali smith but ITS TIME

“ Tell me how to beat myself, how it’s done, the light kiss falling accurately on the cracked palm” -32

Such great story telling, funny, and unexpected. The main character makes the craziest decisions and you’re just along for the ride. Enjoying this SO MUCH MORE than her book sidewalks.

“ what we see, we see and seeing is changing the light that shrivels a mountain and leaves a man alive.“ -14

“Know what that is, all around us, Winnie?” Said Tuck, his voice low. “Life. Moving, growing, changing, never the same two minutes together.”

Very sweet and whimsical. Beautiful language too!
