Life is light when you all of a sudden have a big book deal nyc.
I can relate to Jacaranda running away from Max at any chance she gets but still being in love with him. Also hating Max just because he asked if “thats the blue you’re going with” when you’re painting ur surfboards.
however, if Jacaranda has such a raging alcoholism problem that you can see it in the whites of her eyes, how does she suddenly overcome it at the end?

"the light went out in his eyes and he was bored again. the words "i'll go by myself" had blown out of the glow: it was so "boring" of these american women to imagine they were even worth pursuing to begin with."
"the two girls grew up at the edge of the ocean and knew it was paradise, and better than eden, which was only a garden."
"she was flesh and blood. she was a member of humanity worthy of compassion."
"his laugh was like a dragnet; it picked up every laugh within the vicinity and shined a light on it. it was a dare—he dared you not to laugh with him. he dared you to despair. he dared you to insist that there was no dawn, that all there was, was darkness, that there was no silver lining, that the heart didn't grow fonder by absence. he dared you to believe you were going to die-when you at that moment knew, just as he did, that you were immortal, you were among the gods."
