Cold Enough for Snow by Jessica Au
4.0
3.75 stars rounded up!
the atmosphere and writing is absolutely incredible. some parts actually had me reading them over and over because of how much they resonated with me (genuinely felt too seen like Au was in my walls at those points). it's a remarkably immersive work that takes you on a fascinating journey full of art, memories, childhood, and relationships with the unreliable narrator who herself describes her mother who's travelling along as an apparition.
it did, however, take me three days to get through this tiny novella, making it apparent that it is long-winded without a lot of substance. certainly an artistic choice but it made me a bit agitated at times, so overall, a book you can read when you want to pace and lose yourself into gorgeous scenery.
