I would've loved it more if it was a full novel but still, so beautiful.
“What does it feel like?”
“Like constantly searching for something in your pockets. First you lose the small things, then it's the big ones. It starts with keys and ends with people.”
This book was so so beautiful.
Felt drawn to this after We Spread (touched on themes of dementia/memory loss in a dark way, wanted to read something less eerie and more realistic in the realm of aging) and am very glad I was. Sad. Real. Having had a grandparent with memory loss for many years before his death, this hit a soft spot.
