The Lauras

I thought this was a great read. Taylor's writing style grabbed me from the beginning, and I loved the nuggets of great prose about the complexities of life:

Memory is slippery, not even like a fish but like an eel, like an ice cube, like a clot of blood whose membranous skin can barely contain internal shifting liquidity. It's something that, the firmer you try to grasp it, the weaker the hold you have on it, the less trustworthy it becomes. But it doesn't matter what really happened, does it? Reality matters less than how it is perceived, that edge or feather or scale that you catch onto as it flickers by. And after a year or ten in a dingy pocket who can say if it was a lizard's scale or a dragon's in the first place?

Overall, I thought this was a great read. I recommend it if you're a literary fiction lover! It's deep and there are a lot of complicated emotions, yet the story itself is fairly simple. Pick it up if that sounds like your kind of read! 4 stars from me.
