This book is so bad it actually turns all the way around and it turns out so good that you end up obsessed.

hope was a dangerous, disquieting thing, but he thought perhaps he liked.

Foi muito estranho ler a tradução pt-br pela primeira vez, e não posso dizer que foi uma experiência boa nesse ponto. Tem erros mas, principalmente, muitas traduções não fizeram sentido, algumas por serem frases extremamente toscas (quando no original são frases bem mais sensíveis e importantes), enquanto outras por serem palavras que ninguém nunca fala ou sequer sabe o significado.
De resto, continua sendo meu livro queridinho. Não tem palavras que expliquem como eu amo essa história e como ela é importante pra mim, e cada vez que leio fico mais grata de ter os foxes na minha vida.

You just had to be there (tumblr 2013). I can't rate it or defend the absolute nonsense within it, but I also have reread it 3 times. At its core, there is a small, traumatized man whose ranks a fictional, uber-violent version of lacrosse over his own life. Check trigger warnings because too many apply! This author has never read the DSM and it shows, so take it all with a grain of salt and turn your brain off.

“Remember this feeling. This is the moment you stop being the rabbit.”

Is it problematic? Yes. Does it make sense? No. Is it poorly-edited? Yes. AND YET. Here I am, six months and two rereads later, with a bedroom full of foxes and Andrew Minyard fan art, simping over another murderous blonde twink, practically doomsday prepping for the release of The Sunshine Court. What has my life become?
