fuck.
poetic in all of the most devastating ways. A masterpiece of grief, trauma, inequality and the human condition. Beautifully beautifully beautifully written. I can’t express just how in love I am with the words of this book.
“it is after all so easy to shatter a story. To break a chain of thought. To ruin a fragment of a dream being carried around carefully like a piece of porcelain.”
I was made of porcelain reading this story. I am thoroughly shattered.
