this book makes me feel so weird... I don't know how to explain it, but it reminds me of a night in August when I was outside with all my friends. We were lying on my trampoline, looking at the stars, some shitty cavetown song playing. We talked about this girl who had run away. Then we saw this light flashing in the sky. We thought it was a plane. Or a satellite. Or a UFO.

We thought we were all going to die.

I don't talk to those people anymore. I don't even like them anymore. But that's how this book makes me feel, like I'm back there, in that moment.

It makes me feel so terribly sad but I don't want to cry. So I won't.

Does that make sense to you?
