You don't fall in love with a gender, Anna-Lena. You fall in love with an idiot.


This is a story about a bank robber (and hostage taker) who's having a terrible terrible day, and their hostages who are literally the worst hostages ever, and about idiots, and bridges, and buing apartments, and about people to share said apartments with, and eating an elephant, and being a parent, a partner, a child, a part of something, a part of a lot of things at once, about being needed and in need.

It's funny, hilarious actually, but it's also about serious things. I'd be literally sobbing at one page and then laugh out loud two sentences later (and vice versa), cause it's written in a way that manages to perfectly play with your emotions and thoughts however it wants (and I've been bamboozled by it a few times, when I thought I already know everything that's happened).

At first I wasn't sure how I'll like it, cause even if its narration style is exactly my cup of tea I didn't really care about the plot and the characters, but as I got to know them I fell in love with all of those idiots and when I reached the middle of this book I already cared about them a lot. And I definitely will think about it for a long, long time, cause I think that somehow I read it in literally the most perfect moment for it, or almost perfect cause I think the only way for it to hit more would be if I were or was ever planning to be a parent (I don't, sorry Anna-Lena). 

niesamowite

btw Estelle best character I don't make the rules (but I really love all of them)
