Mi stai ascoltando? by Tillie Walden
5.0
Another one of hers where I stared at the wall a bit after finishing :')
It starts "grounded" then takes a turn for the surreal, in a road trip that is about grief, trauma, acceptance and understanding.
Bea and Lou start closed off (one more than the other), managing to bond over the trip and find that person thas is listening. A relationship that really tugged at my heartstrings.
I didn't mind the fantasy elements not really being explained, as it contributes to the very oniric experience, as well as being "metaphoric" in a way. As in, did it happen or not?
Some event the protagonists can't truly explain themselves yet will stay within them for the rest of their lives.
Speaking of, the ending. Bittersweet yet hopeful, it gave me a similar feel of the closing of On a Sunbeam", though it is more somber.
