...while the meaning of life remains the same always — just to live and be with other people?
(beautiful world, where are you? - sally rooney)
this book makes me very very very happy i just had to draw the characters and (im sorry a bit of spoiler) their future based on alice and eileen's last emails.
(anyway if anyone love this book too, please gush about it with me hahaha)
my favorite parts of this book (SPOILER)
eileen's theory about how in the midst of progress, human's meaning of life remains the same, to live and be with other people.
felix telling alice about how he thought alice wont be happy when he sliced his hand and how nice it is to have someone who would care about something like that and if alice isnt feeling well he would want to know and he'll look after her if she wanted him to.
alice crying while listening to felix singing
simon's come to my apartement there's ice cream and no roommates message to eileen
"im never good at being looked after" simon and "watch and learn" eileen
simon's "but if you think there's any chance that i could make you happy, i wish you would let me try"
felix's "i dont think you like me more. i think we like each other the same. i know i dont show it in my actions all the time, but i can try to be better on that. and i will try. i love you, alright?"
'Alice Kelleher: my boyfriend has never read my books' headline
alice's email about simon crying of happiness when she told him she's pregnant and she's keeping it.
everything else in the book lol
forgot to mention it's an 18+ novel so kiddos dont read this book but anyway the SWEETEST smut ive read on a published book!!!
okay done, this book is just pure serotonin for me
"Maybe we're just born to love and worry about the people we know, and to go on loving and worrying even when there are more important things we should be doing. And if that means the human species is going to die out, isn't it in a way a nice reason to die out, the nicest reason you can imagine? Because when we should have been reorganising the distribution of the world's resources and transitioning collectively to a sustainable economic model, we were worrying about sex and friendship instead. Because we loved each other too much and found each other too interesting. And I love that about humanity, and in fact it's the very reason I root for us to survive - because we are so stupid about each other."
