I don’t know if I could honestly recommend this book to anyone. And not because it’s not well written. And not because I want to invalidate or not bear witness to the trauma. But because I’ve cried through this entire novel thus far and if you’re not mentally in a good space, this book could trigger you immensely.

How do people read this in public? I’m ugly sobbing.

Apparently I just want to cry all month long with these book choices I’m making.

I’ve been waiting for this hold from Libby for months!!!! Reading on my kobo & listening to the audiobook.

“Why does the noneternity of things hurt so much?”

“Am I really so wed to this juvenile routine we’ve cobbled together that I can’t pass a night without it?”

“Or maybe what I want is to want less. To live in the holy shelter of this sentiment without any of the pragmatic details of our real lives threatening that house-of-cards infrastructure I’ve constructed purely of desire.”

“How special it is to taste things, I think. How bizarre that we spend so much time forgetting to do so.”

“Why does waiting to be witnessed by him sting?”

“How embarrassing it is to feel some palpable, physical yearning for the simple fact of someone else’s proximity. How bizarrely juvenile.”

This is heavy.
