This book reminded me what it's like to feel so close to characters and their lives that you want to spend every single second with them, and how it feels to miss them when the book ends. If you're at all like me and you love dissecting the subtle (often mundane or unglamorous) intricacies of daily human life, this book will blow you away. Savas writes in a way that made me feel seen and alive. I've been reading her other works and she's just a star.

I got to read this book before the Alchemist. So when I did get to the Alchemist, I noticed how both of them were similarly bathed in poetry. This book is one of those rare ones that shifted me every time I opened it up. It has moved me in ways I can’t describe and always leaves a beautiful residue, even if I haven’t re-read it recently.

WHY did we stop playing Wii Sports???? Why did technology continue to evolve after the perfect tech was created?? Its as fun (if not more fun) than you remember. It's so SIMPLE yet intuitive and allows you to actually feel present. To play a game without hyperrealistic graphics and unnecessary social aspects is BLISS. Wii Tennis the best thing in the world. I hope they bring it back for sale without modernizing one single thing.

please remove it so you don’t look like a secret agent at a wedding. If you don’t track your steps or have your emails on your wrists for a few hours you’ll be fine I promise!!!

If you’re a proud New Yorker (or reside in a big city), this poem will probably make you feel seen. One of the reasons that I love city life is all the signs that people aren’t regretting life.
