THOUGHTS
I legit think i have been spelling her last name wrong since day 1. I've been adding an A after the first e.
anyway,.
the next time homegirl releases a book, whenever i am ready to read it, i am going to book myself into a fancy as fuck hotel, pamper the fuck out of myself and go on the ride of my life!
i mean, why not enjoy a book in all of the luxury yourself!? #treatyoself!!!!!
THIS BOOK!!!!!!!!!!!
i cant imagine how much more i would have loved this book if i were reading it by the kind of waters that Katy was in in this story herself.
this review probably isnt even about the story itself but more about how the book made me feel.
i mean, yea i've seen pictures of this place before but just in general, its not somewhere that if i were on my death bed id be like "man i regret not going." nah, like it would be dope for sure but ya know. anyway, reading this book! the very next day after i was done, i was missing the views and all of the descriptions that Serle had painted through Katy. it was then that i wanted to visit Positano and see everything that Katy was seeing just like Katy was seeing what her mother once saw.
LOOK.
i was not a fan of the beginning; like the hella codependency with her mother. but then we move on and for the most part thats the part where most people are like "*swerve* not for me" but i think thats the part where i feel like it redeemed itself for me. i dont want to spoil it up here but i was waiting to see how this would be like In 5 Years and when it finally happened well i can 1000% tell you that i did not see that happening! and i think because i did not, it didnt continue to disappoint me like i think it has other people.
nah man. i loved it.
this is the book version of one of Matthew McConaughey's most recent movies, i think, idk, in the last 5 years for sure? (if you click the link it will take you to said movie and well that spoiler is all on you). anyway, so then it like happens and then the next thing happens and then the story is over and its basically making you think about the last time you realized that your parents are still just humans.
and so i liked this book because of the way that it made me feel. maybe not the story in its entirety but i felt cozy reading this, i felt idk, just, i love the way i felt. its weird lol. but yeah.
spoilers right on over!
and if anyone ever wants to go to Positano, take me with you!!!!
SPOILERS
basically the reason that Katy was able to chill with her moms was because she traveled back in time to be there in Italy with her mom during the best summer of her (the mom's) life.
the spoiler was that that summer, the summer that was all the rage, took place right after Katy was born.
her mom actually left her after having given birth to her.
and of course homie was from the past too. Adam i believe is his name.
Katys husband ends up showing up on what was supposed to be her last day and they extend it and end up staying together.
and that's like the gist of it but i obvs left out a lot!
