Status Updates From حين كانت مارني هناك

sometimes I found myself asking if children books really mean books for grown ups that once upon a time were children.

Until chapter 14 the vibe is so fairytale and I love that. But there’s the question Marnie ask to Anna that put me off. What does it feel to live with the Peggs? And relate with myself… what does it feel live with your dads? I’m not sure.

Things like parties and best friends and going to tea with people were fine for everyone else, because everyone else was ‘inside’ - inside some sort of invisible magic circle. But Anna herself was outside. And so these things had nothing to do with her. It was as simple as that.
