Powerful and raw, like picking a scab

Goodbye, Vitamin ~ Rachel Khong



*** LIKE ***

Soft & sad, bittersweet and wryly funny
A warm story of relationships

How To Stop Time ~ Matt Haig


x NO x

Time seemed interminable while I was reading/skimming it
Dribbles of history clung like student's notes to a lame narrative

A Wrinkle In TIme ~ Madeleine L'Engle


* NO *
- UNFINISHED -

** OK **
