WOW

The writing is not about life. It is a form of living. The two happen simultaneously.

Love everything about the writing, caught myself even 'speaking to myself in the accent', if that's at all possible😜
The author brought me into her protagonists lives' and I feel so much fuller as a hooman because of that. Also will rem the book because I was reading it when I ran into the love of my life after 7 years. 💗🌟

All you have to do is watch a child ride her bike directly into a brick wall or jump from the tallest branch of a sycamore tree to know that we humans are reckless with our bodies, reckless with our lives, for no other reason than that we want to know what would happen, what it might feel like to brush up against death, to run right up to the edge of our lives, which is, in some ways, to live fully.

Love this book. Kalyani Ganapathy's drawing style is so special and beautiful. And the words by Vibha Batra are hilarious and reminded me of my internal monologues when my elders used to speak😁😎

... the living had to keep telling hypocritical stories about the dead...

Such a amazing variety of voices. Thanks so much for this book. I hope in Singapore, where I'm from, someone collects such stories. Sg is still very provincial when it comes to disability justice.
