All Our Pretty Songs by Sarah McCarry

2.0

One word: WEIRD.

In the first place, I assume that this will be a fast read but I'm afraid it's not. I found it hard to devour every bit of this book maybe because of the writing style which is somehow lyrical in nature (though really amused me) or I'm just used to simple writing style lately.

Chapter 1 was very long. Descriptive. The narrator managed to tell the past. Quite boring. Hints were the story will lead through, bubbled under.

Chapters 2 to 5, though quite short now, were still quite confusing but I manage to understand what's happening with difficulty.

And, in the end, I picked up that the story is about friendship and love with some fantasy. That one will do everything for the so-called friendship and love no matter what, even the other, though value the friendship or love, choose who he/she really was or what he/she really like. Glad to know that there is also ideas of being real to yourself and knowing thyself.
