sad slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? Yes

We should write this down, Jude said. We should write it so we don't forget it.
We won't forget it, I said.
How do you know?
What we have are feelings. You don't forget feelings.
I remember the way you looked when we decided to get married. Like we lived underwater and you were a mermaid and I was a little fish, and the glass around us was the walls of our private world.
Look, I said, holding a cell phone soreen up to my mouth. I'm your aquarium.



If I could only recommend a movie to someone, it would be Little Fish (2020). Please, go watch it šŸ’™.

I watched the film.
Teared up.
Cried.

And for the first time in a very long time, when I saw that the movie was based on a short story, I had this primal and unavoidable urge to read it and I did. It felt good to read only words after so long. Aja Gabel created a scary dystopic world based on memory loss, and at the same time gave us an exceptional love story which will be hard to forget.
