"Love comes like lightning and disappears the same way. If you're lucky, it strikes you right. If not, you'll spend your life yearning for a man you can't have. I advise you to forget about love, princess. Pleasure is simpler, and duty more important."

What a line!

Finished this book after nearly 3 months. Review to come soon!

Almost there, folks!

The way I am devouring this book is ridiculous. I haven't read a book this quickly in a long time. :P

I like the point this book is trying to make but I'm really struggling with the narration and writing style :(

I am learning French and this is the very first novel I am reading in this language! It's difficult but so fun and I'm super excited.

J'apprends maintenant la langue française et c'est mon premier roman en français. C'est difficile à lire mais j'ai beaucoup d'enthousiasme! Si vous comprennez/parlez français, n'hesitez pas de me corriger à mon écrite. Merci!

In a mood to weep, y'all, so picking this one up for a second time lol

I started off so confidently, you guys, but now, big-book fear is creeping in, ahhhhh, welp

Okay, I have one more chapter to go, and I have no idea why this is taking me so long. Is it a fun read? Yes. Am I bored? Not really. So what's the issue? (I'll probably talk about this in my review, if I ever finish this novella, that is. XD)

"She was woman. He was dog. Thus closely united, thus immensely divided, they gazed at each other."

This story has no reason to be as cute and as gorgeously written as it is, but here we are, folks.

It's been literally 12 years since I have read an Agatha Christie novel and you can rest assured that I'm as excited as an infant who has just figured out that they have not just ten fingers but also ten toes. XD

Guys I opened the book today and gasped because I hadn't realized I was already three-fourths of the way through. I am shook. I haven't got this immersed in a book since 9th grade, love this for me, y'all. XD

"But here in Toronto, in the celebrated centre of multiculturalism, it just goes to illustrate that this disease [cancer] doesn't seem to play favourites....In all the faces around me, I see desire for things just out of reach. Recovery. Comfort. Safety. Empathy. Control. Normalcy. Escape. Luck."

The more I read this book, the more I'm amazed at how eloquent she is and at the elegant ease with which she writes about things I didn't know was possible to express in words.

At first I was like, "mmm, this is going to be difficult to understand," as a joke. But bro, I don't think it's a joke anymore :')

Okay, is this book spontaneously sprouting pages? :( Why is it taking me so long to finish?? (I ask while scrolling through Instagram.)

I am really enjoying this, but surely this isn't the same brain I used to read Macbeth, King Lear and As You Like It in school?? Like, why is this so hard lol??
