Maybe metaphors are just lost on me. But I really didn’t get this story.
At first I thought I missed something, so I went back and reread and sure enough, oops! Pages stuck together! Maybe reading this will help?
Nope, no better. Ugh.
Seeing other people explain the metaphor… sure, it makes sense, but it was a miss in my reading.
At least I can say I’ve read it now :(
