Not my fave collection of Li‘s, but still strong. Determination & melancholy. Isolated characters. Fear of emotion. Deep pain dulled by denial. Memory. Records. Family. Pain built up over years. Kindness of strangers. Beautiful, glancing prose. P222 “They were lonely & sad people, all three of them, and they would not make one another less sad, but they could, with great care, make a world that would accommodate their loneliness.” 2010

Theaelizabet I‘ll be interested to learn if it impacts you as much as did Dear Friend. (I‘m tobytoofun on Youtube.) 5y

#girlinthetitle I haven't read all of these but they are all cool. I tried to use books I haven't seen. I am keeping my options for using them in the #litsyAtoZ challenge too.

I apparently read a lot of books with "girl" in the title and as much as I loathe to admit it, I enjoyed most of them. There's only one on this list that I didn't like, so I guess I'm the target audience for these types of books? ? #readJanuary #girlintitle
