“I want to hug Penny, and so I do, and I tell her she can still love this flawed thing. I tell her it will be a different love, a little sadder maybe, but wiser, too. I tell her that if we can’t love flawed things, we probably wouldn’t love anything at all.” . Loved Mosquitoland and Kids of Appetite, and this book didn’t fail me. It’s a mind-bending and thought-provoking story of friendship (how sometimes we could hurt even the people closest to our heart) and forgiveness (how it feels to be released from hatred and bitterness) and love (all kinds of love, even love for flawed and imperfect things). . Grateful that I met @davidarnold in person. Messaged him on Facebook when I was in NYC just to be sure I’ll meet him there somehow. . #davidarnold #latepost #mosquitoland #kidsofappetite #noahhypnotik #thestrangefascinationsofnoahhypnotik #lategram #authorsofinstagram #instagram #bookstagram #instagood #travel #event #adventure #instatravel #Godisgood #happylife #live #love #life #yolo #vsco #gopro #vscocam (at Jacob K.
