roadkillfawn's Book Journey

"Without the mysticism of being my mother, she is just a woman, exactly like me, only with less time ahead of her, and - I'm beginning to think - all the same uncertainty."

"Apart, we are weeds, but together, we are wildflowers, we make a beautiful garden."

The writing is so beautiful and captivating, I am hooked. Lucy articulates her thoughts in such a profound and relatable way. Trying to figure herself out between expectations and own contradicting desires, complicated by her views being challenged and viewing things in a new light (eg seeing her mum as a person beneath the parent role) - it's so relatable and tough and makes me want to give her a hug
