Gustavo Marconcin liftersbr — You know how you have a standard answer to the question "what is your favorite book"? Well, Watership Down is my standard answer, and has been since I was about 10. Of course, I appreciate it on a bit of a different level now than I did back then.

Rong Noctis xiao_ — I was afraid of this book. It stared at me for weeks from my reading pile before fear of overdue fines drove me to pick it up. Because damn. Corners are not cut, nothing is glossed over and that makes this book very, very uncomfortable. And tense. I’m impressed with how it was told, like the author got out of the way and let the story happen. Lochan and Maya know exactly what they’re doing and nothing happens by accident. It’s not covered up with pretty words, but it’s not exploitative either. The story is never dressed up as anything other than what it is. By no means a romance (just…no), it’s more a story about family (hell. Pretty sure that’s even worse). Most of my emotion while reading this came from all the Whitely kids and their situation, knowing it couldn’t end well. All five were abandoned years ago by a father who left empty promises in his wake and again (and again and again) over the years by their mother to her vices. No one gives a damn about them. But Lochan and Maya get such joy keeping everyone together and managing to get even one to smile. Getting all the younger kids to smile or laugh? Heaven. I loved them for that. It’s devastating and desperate and hopeless. I had to wonder if reviews included words like “amazing” to justify liking so salacious a book. I didn’t expect it to be so emotional. I didn’t expect to actually find any sympathy and be moved to tears. I had another book ready to scrub my mind afterward, but there’s no forgetting this story. I thought it was worth it, but deciding to pick it up would have to be at the sole discretion of any reader.
