I’m so glad to read your review — I’ve had an ARC in my pile for months, but hadn’t heard much about the book. It sounds wonderful!

I can see this because if I had started using quotes I would have excerpted the entire book. I need to go to your review and see which ones you chose.

The fireflies were a little twee but it was the whole thing with Owen and Adeleine in her apartment. I just didn’t get it.

In reply to Sarah's Book Shelves. Absolutely! His thoughts were some of the most heartbreaking and profound in the book.

Also – I thought that, despite Paulie having the “disposition of an 8 year old”, he said some of the most profound things in the book.

Yes to this: “On the surface, these five adults would be known by their labels, if they were known at all.”!! This book was so much about the writing for me that I did a post of all quotes instead of a review. And – I agree about the fireflies…thought that got a bit silly. But, that’s the beauty of books with out of this world writing, things can get silly but you don’t really care b/c the writing is so gorgeous…it keeps you invested.

In reply to Shannon @ River City Reading. Agreed. The Owen stuff just went a bit too far for me. If he were toned down I could totally see it.

I love this book SO much. Strangely enough (even though it’s all about the writing), I feel like it could be an amazing TV show if it was picked up by the right people.

I’m excited to read more by Alcott. The Dangers of Proximal Alphabets showed so much promise, I’m sure she’s only gotten better.

I already had it on my TBR list. I think it needs to move up a notch or two, however! 🙂
