Everything Sad Is Untrue by Daniel Nayeri
5.0
“I don’t know how my mom was so unstoppable despite all that stuff happening. I dunno. Maybe it’s anticipation. Hope. The anticipation that the God who listens in love will one day speak justice. The hope that some final fantasy will come to pass that will make everything sad untrue. Unpainful.”
So good. Made me cry. Made me want to hug Khosrou and also everyone. Made me weepy at the thought of our stories and how each one of us is just made up of thousands of stories and how we’re all part of a big one we can’t even imagine. If you can vibe with the non-linear storytelling and the tangents (which felt so accurate to imagine them being told by an 8-year-old) this book is precious and meaningful
