part 2 is a lot better than part 1. paula has a lot more going on than her mom

the writing is pretty but i’m having some trouble feeling invested. i want to miss my book when i put it down ya know?

ugh i LOVE this book and i can’t wait to discuss w my book club
reread and reread and reread

quirky!

a book from my youth. i had a craving and man it’s hitting the spot. i love this story

i’m def liking it better now. still an insane amount of unnecessary jargon tho

really not a fan of this book. yes, exciting things are happening but i can’t stand the writing style

i mean fuck

holy shit

giving a similar vibe to The English Problem. the footnotes are unnecessary and the asterisks are TINY i keep missing them. idk i feel like there’s a lot of unnecessary stuff. however, i love the characters and am totally invested in the story. love me some magical realism!

so i’m obsessed with this book

giggling on the train

“Is that how you come to know that a house is yours? When its walls radiate light, and its grained floorboards tremble, and the sun oozes and orange out of cracks in the wood frames of windows like marmalade” (229).

slower start but i’m invested now!
