Always find myself reaching for it every couple of years for a little levity about our troubled times. Feel like Iâd like to impart that on a stranger too.

I found this book at my friendâs apartment and we decided to read it, partially for fun and as a joke, but it absolutely wrecked me. It was a couple nights before I left London, after my graduation, and I was in the whole job hunting process and I was hopelessly lost!
There was something about this whole idea that even though the book was meant for a kid, I never felt more connected to it, at that point it felt like every line was perfectly tailored to how I was feeling. Itâs also really interesting because I think it was his last published childrenâs book. kinda makes me think if he mightâve written it for himself as well, to cope with growing old?
Iâm turning 23 in a few days and Iâm right where I was (cluelessness wise) when I read this book several months ago⌠I think itâs okay not having everything sorted and figured out, just because you havenât yet met the goals youâve set doesnât mean you havenât been constantly learning something. âđ¤¸ââď¸đ§¸đ

Absolutely loved this uncanny collection of short stories. Ling Ma creates depth and discomfort in her characters so well, and creeps up on you with narratives thatâll leave you thinking.
Severance (her novel) was also one of my favorite reads last year.

Been in Seattle a handful of years now, and really taking in how beautiful the PNW can be through othersâ eyes and stories. Also some major nostalgia goggles for 90s Seattle.
