“She would love herself, even with her sadness and her distractibility, her defenses and her failures. The process of making would stretch open the universe until it was frighteningly and gloriously wide with possibility.”
Now, this book was definitely fun, sad and poignant, but the end gives us, the readers, a bit of hope for Adelaide.
The book first introduces Adelaide as a sad, confused and heart-broken person after all the trauma she has suffered in recent months. Her break-up, her brother’s addiction and her failing the school year. In the story, there are fragments of the same events with different outcomes playing out in other universes, which I found really cool and interesting. At first, it was confusing but I got used to it and ended up loving it.
This book is about grief and overcoming our own fears and emotions and learning to accept ourselves. We need to do this in order to progress in life. I think the author portrays emotions really well; sadness, happiness, grief, uncertainty, anger... Those are all human emotions that we all have faced at some point in our lives, and this book does an amazing job at representing them. I think the author did an amazing job, well done!
