it was disturbing in a way that keeps you hooked. it was hauntingly beautiful. i wish there was more character development, but i enjoyed it nonetheless

Why? Why does what was beautiful suddenly shatter in hindsight because it concealed dark truths? Why does the memory of years of happy marriage turn to gall when our partner is revealed to have had a lover all those years? Because such a situation makes it impossible to be happy? But we were happy! Sometimes the memory of happiness cannot stay true because it ended unhappily. Because happiness is only real if it lasts forever? Because things always end painfully if they contained pain, conscious or unconscious, all along? But what is unconscious, unrecognized pain?

Heart-wrenchingly sad, which is the kind of book I’m a sucker for.
