I’m so invested in Theo, I’m so worried for him. Ughhh

Incredibly long read but a worthwhile one. It was difficult to get through this last part in Vegas. He’s only 15 :/

It’s a dense, meaty chew. But I love it. It’s been a while since I sunk my teeth into literary fiction, and it is a much-needed, warm welcome back. Every time I open The Goldfinch to read another beautiful page of writing, I’m delighted I did. My initial feeling is this book isn’t for everyone. I love a slow pace character portrait, and the first quarter is very much that.
