A List of Cages by Robin Roe

5.0

While I personally felt I couldn't fully associate to this book, I know there could have been multiple chances earlier in my life where I felt this book could have found me at the perfect time, and I could then offer soft prayers to it in strange gratitude. I appreciate how this book offers emphasis how story-telling makes me dwell on memory, but in a good and profound way, especially with a story featuring two main characters I never once felt were made to only propel each other, but how they both accommodate each other seamlessly with ferocious compassion and empathy and awareness of how, as human beings, we all have inner and outer selves we try to make sense in the world and in the face of our obstacles. Pick this up if you like the tone of something like "Perks of Being A Wallflower" with hints of similar character introspection like in "A Little Life"
