My brain chemistry has been permanently altered.
First 100 ish pages I cried and cried and then cried more. I stopped reading and then just cried as I went about cooking dinner and staring at walls. Mostly for them partly for me. Sometimes books find you when you need to confront things ya know? It gives you the ok to feel for yourself in a way that sometimes life and time don’t give you the chance too. How feeling for the characters is actually empathy for yourself.
Beej. Beej. My darling boy. He’s one of my soul characters. Wormed his way in and made himself right at home in my heart. I quite like him there. The way he loves is otherworldly. (Toxic but shut up.)
Magnolia is my favorite brat. I find her strangely endearing.

Clutch my pearls. That man. Most iconic scene I’ve ever read was in this book. Forever will I look back and chuckle when I need a laugh.
These books. Man. A whirlwind of emotions and happy to be caught in the storm.
