“It was the best first kiss in the history of first kisses. It was as sweet as sugar. And it was warm, as warm as pie.”

pickThis has Before The Coffee Gets Cold vibes, and I was finding it mildly enjoyable, and then the third of the three chapters came along and hit me in the feels.
pickI feel like this is an allegory for illnesses, like cancer and dementia. Tomes where people have to watch their loved ones change, suffer, and inevitably leave. It‘s heartbreaking. The story is beautifully written, and while sad, also hopeful and with love.

pickFunky photo but it was still semi dark when I finished this morning 🤪 Overall, I liked this! Agree with some reviewers who mentioned how it dragged a bit - mainly the middle - but the premise was super unique and the adventures/misadventures happening kept me turning the pages. Not sure about the ending - I had other ideas but, I didn‘t write the book so 🤷♀️😂

Stories keep the world intact. Storytelling predates the written word by about 3000 years. Fairytales specifically have always protested against societal constraints and commented on the human condition. Fairytales offer whimsy and truth. The whimsy makes us brave, and the truth points us in the right direction. I use fairytales from around the world because they remind me of hope and they show that no one is immune to sorrow.
Did you know that trees talk? Scientifically, another tree can send love to a sad one or a sick one. Baby trees hardly get any light, which means that a baby tree should die, but the roots of the vast trees feed it. Some forests are just fine. They are roots and joy and babbling brooks. Did you know if there‘s something that poisons one tree, the forest can suffer? That‘s how I think this happened. That‘s why it‘s all my fault.
