“sometimes you can’t separate the hard things from the good things.”
this book was beautiful.
i’m a little embarrassed with how long it took me to get the metaphor of the lake and the alebrijes LMAO but once i did it made the book all the more impactful.
Bastián and Lore are two beautiful, worthy souls who are just trying to find ways to fit into a world that doesn’t want them to. their separate journeys are painstaking and trying and made my heart ache. their journey together was magical and spectacular.
the metaphors, y’all. they were so incredible.
and the fact that the author made these two beautiful characters from their lived experience was !!! we Love ownvoices. it was amazing to read the author’s note and heartbreaking but so joyful to read about their experiences and those who care about their best interests.
man, i loved it. i’m so happy i read it.
