what if i say this is actually one of the best books i have ever read? it shattered my heart, changed the trajectory of my brain, made me feel sick and what not.
“i love him, and for a moment it doesn’t matter whether he loves her back. it is enough to have known that the inside of her chest is more than a place for storage.”
i relate to regan so much that it scares me. her moodiness, her obsession with change, her repulsion for emptiness. so on point. “without the volatility of her extremes, what was she?”exactly. what am i without my extremes? Regan's monologues tore me apart because how can i unhealthily relate to a character that much? Aldo is so precious. now, i cannot help but see bees and time in a wholly different light because of them.
AldoRegan were so realistic, complex and layered, just like us normal people. wish i could read it again for the first time!
