Day 74: #365DaysOfWriting
The Universe of Us & To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before
Hello again! It’s been too long no? Anyhoo, the show must go on. It’s been a fabulous few days that I shall write about in greater detail in the days to come.
I just finished reading Lang Leav’s The Universe of Us yesterday. To be honest, when I bought the book, I thought I’d finish the book in a few days. And I’m a slow reader at that. Boy, was I wrong!
I bought the book two months back. And while I have read other books alongside it, it took me this long to finish it. The way she weaves words into the truths of the universe, it leaves you with a lump in your throat and a very full heart. I loved her poetry but I also know that it was not an easy book to read, especially in one go. I guess that is how poetry is. It takes time to soak in, set and feel. And in all of that, you have no idea where time passed and where you really are.

A sample:
In other news, I just watched Jenny Han’s To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before on Netflix. It is one of the most heartwarming films I have seen in a very long time. I am a huge fan of YA fiction and I know for a fact that that genre is creating major waves in the literary world.
A special cheer for Jenny Han’s character Peter Kavinsky who kept the popcorn bowl down before picking up a pillow fight. What a lovely character! How he cares for Lara Jean and all the people close to her, is ❤! There’s a book that I shall read for sure.
Until tomorrow,
S. :)
