Took me this long to find 5 things 🎆🧨😐
At the beginning of the narrative, it is unclear what reality is. The narrator exists somewhere between recovery, therapy, and fairy tales. This mix of the whimsical and reality makes you ask: Is magic a metaphor, a coping strategy, or both? This blending of fantasy and mental illness feels honest. Real pain can feel unreal, unbearable, and unrelatable.
“We can only go forward. Remember?“
This line is small on the page, but it lands with the force of a thunderclap.
We have touched pain and are no longer running from the past. Sometimes moving forward isn't brave or glamorous, it's simply what's next. And in that way, it becomes one of the most powerful lines in the book.
The last page of the novel stuck out to me the most. At the conclusion of Whimsy and Faeries adventures, when the author speaks directly to the audience. It was enough for me to grab my phone and take a picture. I think it makes the entire novel worth it, especially for younger audiences who may need to hear this, or even found themselves relating to the characters hardships throughout the novel. 10/10
pickWhen I first started this book, I was unsure of how I felt about it. The utilization of prose to tell the story was unique and encouraged me to keep reading, and by the end I was in love with the story. Its mystical elements made it feel like a more elaborate Alice in Wonderland, with important elements and themes not getting lost in the lines.
