demora pra ficar bom mas quando engata no romance que Supostamente é o principal fica tão mágico... entendo que nem tudo é romance mas no mínimo decepcionante toda a situação com a belle e a hero ficar meio "ai ela tava projetando e tava doente".. sinto que o foco no hugh destruiu tudo um pouco, ele é intragável em todos os sentidos e as personagens verem ele como coitada é só frustrante. acho que isso é o que define o livro todo: frustrante. POREM. as descrições da autora em alguns momentos é simplesmente insana e deliciosa de ler... no começo parece meio forçado mas apenas Começa A Fazer Sentido e fica lindo. o final eh bonito eu acho (?) não ironicamente a parte que eu menos liguei e me pareceu apressada, muita coisa pra um livro tão pequeno.

- to be queer or to be happy
- i expected more from the summarizing sentence of someone falling in love with their lover’s wife then mother. this isn’t to say i was completely disappointed; i expected the book to go in a different direction
- for one, mavor can write. her descriptions of setting and feeling is deliciously romantic (i cannot get the “poems have been written about moments like this, so explanation isn’t necessary” line out of my head — oh to experience love so deeply it feels reminiscent of your favorite literature)
- i appreciate the effort i had to put in to truly pay attention
- unfortunately wasn’t my most intriguing reading experience but i do not regret picking it up

A poetic exploration into a woman’s exploration of herself, her sexuality, her view of life and what happens in life when you bring yourself into the present moment.
