I WAS NOT READY!
I don't think you could ever be ready for the brilliance that is Butter Honey Pig Bread.
I don't know how to explain this book to you. I want to exist in it forever. The last time I was plagued with feelings like these was when reading Seven days in June.
God, I love reading. I love books that remind me why I am so obsessed and in love with literature to begin with. This is one of the best things I've ever set my eyes upon.What a delicious and beautiful book.
Taiye, Wolfie, Timi, Banji, Keyinde..all these characters.
God- I.. just ..I can't..just read it , PLEASE.
Favorite quotes;
+Things line up funny sometimes; madness has its purpose I suppose.
+"It was just drugs doing drug things to my brain," Taiye concluded.
+But one cannot abandon oneself, try try try as one might.
+There was nothing to do but dissolve.
+I have been straddling two impossiblities for what seems like many lifetimes.
+Life is an ambivalent lover. One moment, you are everything and life wants to consume entirely. The next moment, you are an insignificant speck of nothing. Meaningless.
+She doesn't regret this life, but it hurts, nonetheless.
Trigger warnings; Sexual assault, grief, body dysmorphia, mental illness, miscarriage, homophobia.
