"Rainy March closed her umbrella with a flick of her finger and vanished.
Our revels now are ended."

"Nearly three in the morning? The witching hour. Who would be knocking on her door this time of night?"
(Justo son las 3 de la mañana y al fin me dispongo a terminar este libro taaan especial :')

“I know there’s not a story in the world that can take away the pain. But there is one thing books can do.”
“They can remind you you’re not alone.”

Justo acaban de hacerlo verdad❤️🥹

“My writers never even let me mourn her. I had to do all my grieving between the lines.”

Qué fácil de aterrizar en la realidad, como uno pasa los duelos entre las líneas de la vida, porque el libro no se detiene y uno tiene que seguir avanzando y encontrando espacios para desahogar y vivir esas pérdidas, qué fuerte se tornó...

"I want my mom. I want my mom. I want my mom.I said it until I couldn’t say it anymore, until I could only feel it, like a child’s deepest, most primal need—not food or shelter but to reach out her hands and have her mother take them in hers."

Íjole, qué fuerte, realista y dolorosa representación de esa ausencia, me dió en lo más profundo...un abrazo para Rainy y Nancy T.T

"A figure who was very clearly supposed to be her stood on a small hill by a single tombstone with the name Maxine Blake carved on it. The cartoon Rainy’s black umbrella was open and rested on her shoulder. Her head was bowed in mourning. A bundle of forget-me-nots lay atop the gravestone. The caption simply read, No words."
La imagino perfecto,dolió. Amo que la hiciera el mismo ilustrador que The Clock Island.

“The problem there, you see…the only girl I want to marry is you. And I don’t want you in the margins. I want you on every page in black and white and bold print with your face on the cover.”

"Scientists have proven that reading fiction makes people more empathic, improves their disposition and emotional intelligence. People, in other words, need stories. But stories also need people. An unread book is a caged animal, trapped between paper walls. They want reading, need it. To open a book is to set a story free."
