Heard a lot of buzz about this book and... yikes. Rupi Kaur touches on some important themes of the female body, relationships, and violence but her reflections are plain and shallow. Poetry for the "live, laugh, love" demographic. Got halfway ...more

I spent the first weekend of spring barefoot in a hammock drinking tea and completely absorbed in this book. The pacing is marvelous and the writing so clean and precise. Baru is a deeply drawn character. Her loss of home, parent, self and the brutal ...more

A little In Cold Blood, a little Diabolique. I did like the strangeness of the story and characters, but there's a leap at the end that I could not make and ruins the entire book for me. I don't think the translation is very successful either.

“O I'm so afraid that it's true about to travel hopefully being better than to arrive. It might be all in the quest, all in the search, all in the anticipation. When it came, there might be nothing there.”

“Hollowness: that I understand. I'm starting to believe that there isn't anything you can do to fix it. That's what I've taken from the therapy sessions: the holes in your life are permanent. You have to grow around them, like tree roots around concrete; you mold yourself through the gaps”
― Paula Hawkins, The Girl on the Train
