امسال دو نفر برای تولدم، بردنم کتابفروشی و گفتن یه چیزی انتخاب کنم. تافی، یکی از اون دو کتاب بود.
به نظرم اسم سارا کروسان کافیه، واقعا قشنگ بود. نه به قشنگی "ما یک نفر"، ولی خب فکر نکنم کتاب دیگهای اصلا بتونه به اون حد برسه.

The audio book version of this is brilliant. It’s the first time I’ve listened to an audio book so fast, I didn’t want to press pause and get on with every day life.
So moving and heart warming and I just fell in love with Marla.
Note: I did listen to it on 1.5x speed because I found the narrators reading a bit too slow for my liking.

Toffee is an interesting piece focusing on themes of friendship and identity as well as domestic violence. Personally, I'm not a huge fan of the way it was written, in poetry, although it was unique in many ways and somewhat enjoyable I found some aspects, such as character development were lacking slightly and the novel itself seemed to try a little too hard to relate to young readers by the continued use of drugs and alcohol without addressing this as an issue.
I loved this story. Allison and Marla, completely at odds with each other. A far fetched story, but a lovely one at that, sad in so many ways, a lot of truths surfaced throughout. How someone with dementia comes to be with a house guest-a victim of domestic/child abuse, an unlikely friendship, a really beautiful story written in verse. I found this a clever, intriguing and heart warming story.
Just not for me. I was expecting this to be written all in prose which threw me off and I found it difficult to read.
