Not a happy moment in the book. Lots of triggers.

Reading this for my f2f bookclub and not loving it. All the characters are miserable and I am too with a horrible cold.

#25Alive #Dreams a photo of a postcard in a book about Coney Island. This is of the park called Dreamland . It was the last of the early parks built, opening in May of 1904. Completely destroyed by fire in May of 1911 .

“...Nothing really matches the atmosphere of the old Polaroid film. Except perhaps a poem, a musical phrase, or a forest hung with mist.“

I‘m glad I didn‘t bail, almost did a few times.There are 5+ characters who are connected,2 timelines,the story is only told through diary entries,letters or newspaper articles. It‘s a bit boring at the beginning & Sophie&Allen‘s love declarations for one another are a bit too saccharine.I‘m also normally not a fantasy/magical realism fan but this worked for me because the “fantasy elements” were taken from

“Snowflakes are merely drops of rain clothed in the highest haute couture.”

Read this one day by day over the last year. Microdosing inspiration from a beloved artist.

Read this for my kids. Really cool story, and would definitely recommend!

- Only 3 rated 3 or below
- 2 DNFs and I never DNF!
- 5 buddy read with my sister
