“All these years they’ve been like two little plants sharing the same plot of soil, growing around one another, contorting to make room, taking certain unlikely positions.”
normally, I don't want to be absorbed in a story that is quite sad or sorrowful. this book is not a romance book or an actual adventure one, but personally, it is so mundane. like oftentimes, I feel like my feeling, my current state included in the story because it is related when you are in the phase of growing up. I hate so much slow-burn, miscommunication but it just felt real when I read it. and aren't those moments happened every time?
there were many heavy topics that must be bold, and not everyone able to get through in certain chapters.
“Life offers up these moments of joy despite everything.”
This book is gorgeously written and how Ms. Rooney applied the words, those just amazing. At first it made me confused, but I went along just fine.
