Love is longer than time. This book scooped my heart. It encapsulates the raw, visceral side of grief that many don't acknowledge and how it stays with you, how there is no 'cure.' How you learn to move forward not because you want to, but because there is no choice. A stunning and heartbreaking read.

Whenever I receive something I truly want, I am instantly terrified of losing it.

I love hanging out with my babies, and seeing them have serious conversations about the mundane and tedious aspects of life. But also, what do you mean Shiro is pushing 60?! I need to lay down.

Sometimes, only through a story can a truth be heard. I read this in practically one sitting. The writing is propulsive, making you want to read more and more to see how things are going to go. I wish some aspects would've been fleshed out more, like the descriptions and the romance.

She turned to me then, strong emotion in her brown eyes. "The Sea God isn't angry, Mina. He's lost. He's waiting, in his palace far beyond this world, for someone brave enough to find him." 🥺

No, I did not bury the bodies nobody had prayed for. There are things in this world we must make one another see. This poetry collection is sad and visceral, which makes it difficult to read. Sok doesn't mince words. A lot of the events and places referenced flew over my head because I was unfamiliar with Cambodia and the atrocities committed there. However, after doing my research, I'm left without words but with a lot of heartache.

I am one of those cogs, going round and round. I have become a functioning part of the world, rotating in the time of day called morning. This book is banana pants crazy and Keiko is at the center of this insanity, but I enjoyed every minute I spent reading this book.
