The Past Is Red by Catherynne M. Valente

emotional funny hopeful reflective medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

5.0

It's like a love letter to our fragile humanity, our connections, and our loneliness, scribbled out longhand in spent permanent marker on junk mail envelopes and plastic-lined stay-fresh coffee bags, then sent out into the wreckage of the world with all the hope and despair a heart can muster.
