the thing about the goldfinch is that recommending it is difficult because i truly believe that the best and perhaps only way to read it is while going through a severe depressive episode yourself. was it a good book? i can't even tell you, all i know is that i read it when i was feeling deeply sad and alineated from the world but at least i had theo decker with me talking about how sad and alineated from the world HE felt. book for and about people so so scared to live. what if we all died wondering???
