este livro está dividido em 2 partes: <b>kitchen</b> e <b>moonlight shadow</b>. ambas lidam com a morte, perda, amor, solidão e superação/aceitação das mesmas. para mim, a 1ª parte pessoalmente tocou-me mais, uma vez que fala na perda da avó da personagem principal e o fascínio dela por cozinhas (um sólido 5/5). a 2ª parte é muito mais curta, lida com a perda de irmãos e de amores, é interessante na mesma, mas não me cativou tanto.
tem uma personagem trans por isso pontos para a comunidade LGBTQI++!!
é um livro que quero guardar comigo porque acho que consegue dar força e esperança mesmo numa fase difícil, sem romantizar absolutamente nada a realidade que é perder uma pessoa na nossa vida.

<i>“There are many days when all the awful things that happen make you sick at heart, when the path before you is so steep you can't bear to look. Not even love can rescue a person from that.”</i>
<i>“As I grow older, much older, I will experience many things, and I will hit rock bottom again and again. Again and again I will suffer; again and again I will get back on my feet. I will not be defeated. I won't let my spirit be destroyed.”</i>
<i>“To the extent that I had come to understand that despair does not necessarily result in annihilation, that one can go on as usual in spite of it, I had become hardened. Was that what it means to be an adult, to live with ugly ambiguities? I didn't like it, but it made it easier to go on.”</i>
<i>"It was all your imagination. And imagination is sometimes worse than reality.”</i>
<i>“People aren't overcome by situations or outside forces; defeat invades from within, I thought.”</i>
