📚 REVIEW COM SPOILERS

Que livro precioso! Confesso que eu parei de ler por algumas semanas pra digerir, é um assunto muito sensível, onde a gente se coloca no lugar dos protagonistas toda hora. Eu não tenho costume de ler romances ou dramas, eu sou mais do suspense psicológico ou thriller, então quando leio romances, eu acho fraco ou meio brega. Mas esse... eu realmente derramei algumas lágrimas lendo. Joshua é um personagem muito real. Eu consegui me conectar totalmente com ele. O fato de toda hora o livro voltar no tempo pra contar da história da Lauren me entediava um pouco porque eram coisas que eu não queria saber. Mas achei que valeu a pena por conta da cena em que mostra como eles conversaram pela segunda vez e finalmente começaram o relacionamento. Assim como gostei de terem deixado pra mostrar a morte dela de fato apenas no final. Isso fez eu sentir mais. O final pra mim foi perfeito, eu amei que ele conseguiu seguir em frente com uma outra pessoa. Mas na real, eu realmente estava torcendo pra que ele desse certo com a Sarah. Quando ela começou a ser uma babaca no restaurante do nada, eu fiquei sem entender porque ela foi legal durante o livro todo. Achei um pouquinho forçado o lance dele com a Rose faltando poucas paginas pro final, mas como eu disse, ele merecia isso. Ele merecia ser feliz novamente. Ele continua amando Lauren, isso nunca vai mudar, mas agora vai sentir outros tipos de amores também. No final, minha nota não poderia ser menos que 5 estrelas. Esse livro é o que vai me fazer procurar outros do mesmo gênero. Minhas favs: A cena dele com o pai biológico | Lauren chamando ele pra sair | Josh se consultando com a cartomante | Lauren partindo ☹ | Todos reunidos no final para plantar a árvore da Lauren, inclusive Rose.

Good morning, friends. 🪻🪻🪻

15 November 2023

I went to sit at my backyard table this morning, but when I got out there, I realized that it was raining. It was only a drizzle but enough to drive me back into the house.

Yesterday, I had some knee pain and was limping around the house. Charlie, a border collie, who often stays by my side started limbing too. I found that to be amusing, so I walked some more and exaggerated my limp, and so did Charlie. I wonder if he does that out of sympathy. I think he does. Sometimes, I when get emotional, because of something bad happening, or maybe just watching a sad movie. The dogs will come near, maybe get in my lap, to comfort me. I'm convinced that is what is happening.

“When an eighty-five-pound mammal licks your tears away, then tries to sit on your lap, it's hard to feel sad.” - Kristan Higgins, Catch of the Day

Also, this has nothing to do with Ruben, but as long as we are talking about books

I have just read "Pack Up the Moon" By Kristan Higgins like two days ago, literally read it in one day and it was so good. It is a very sad book, I honestly don't remember when was the last time I was crying the whole time while reading a book and that's exactly what I did reading this one. So I guess it's not for everyone, cause if you don't like sad books you probably shouldn't read it. But the story was both excruciatingly sad and beautiful.

And I don't know maybe it is a popular book in other countries, but it's not very popular in Poland, cause it's not even translated in polish but just wanted to recommend for anyone who is looking for a good read

Be ready for tears though

7, 11, 24, 41!!! (also let's get personal)

7: What’s your strangest talent?

I guess that I can I infinitely ramble abt a piece of literature that I read like 5 min ago? Sometimes some of it won’t rlly make sense but I just go with how my feelings change across the poem and based on that I like analyse which exact bits made that change and yea

11: Do you have any strange phobias?

Hmm idk about strange but I am deathly afraid of needles and hospital equipment like I get paralysed by the fear and lose feeling in my legs, it’s that bad

24: Do you have a collection of anything? Omgg I have this super embarrassing collection of bookmarks that I made of Taylor swift lyrics like around 40+? When I was 12 and I still have them but yknow the ashes are curled up and the lyrics are woefully terribly written in 12yo cursive 😭 but one of these days I’ll recreate them

41: What was the last book you read?

STILL currently reading Pack Up the Moon by Kristan Higgins but I’m so busy I always forget about it AH

Thanks for the ask!! 💖💖

“Ti regalo la luna (ma non lo dire a nessuno)”, Kristan Higgins, Newton Compton Editori. A cura di Barbara Anderson

Ve lo dico con il cuore in mano questo libro è devastante! Se qualcuno mi avesse detto che alla fine della lettura sarei stata felice mentre stavo leggendo le prime pagine vi garantisco che avrei preso a pugni chiunque avesse osato fare un’affermazione del genere. Poi invece, insieme al protagonista apriamo la prima lettera della sua dolcissima, folle moglie e da quel momento,…
