It was a dreamy read—throughout the novel, I resisted the urge to pinch myself to figure out whether I was awake or dreaming—and I felt like I was lounging on a pool float that was left to drift endlessly in a water park's lazy river. The plot itself is a sprawling, glorious mess, flitting between different time periods, parallel universes and vague character references. Best read with a glass (or bottle) of wine in hand, me thinks, to thoroughly enjoy the dizzying experience. I loved the little...
Ambitious and wide-ranging, and yet so intimate too. I felt for each of the characters, my favourites being Tori and Daniel. But I do love that this was written by a Singaporean.Following Jing's journey was like walking through darkness, while Isaac's was like being confronted against a harsh light.
Man. I got this book along with 'Shantih Shantih Shantih' (part of a bundle) and I feel completely rearranged by both books – but in different ways?

Aside from it being so damn beautifully written (the number of sentences that made me gasp! the scene where Isaac describes Jing's footsteps as being filled with light along the beach! daniel's sentiment that something beautiful can arise f...
Hi there. I don’t like Goodreads, but I’m here anyway to talk about this book. (If you know who I am pls don’t disturb me here lol.) I was already halfway done with it, dreamily coasting along its pages over the New Year period.

Now that I am done, I’m glad to confirm that the review was indeed misguided.First things first: I just like books. I don’t feel the need to shout it from the rooftop...
“Every star is a sun has an Earth has a person”▪︎“And while the cosmos was mappable, no matter how vast it actually was, the same could not be said of the heart. And the same, surely, could not be said of the soul. How far could the soul go… before it was finally out of reach? Before it could be free from the hurt, the suffering, and the knowledge that love, even love, was finite?”▪︎“(He) had hoped that married life would represent a kind of horizontal slate, a prevailing, unchanging state of af...
Lovelier, Lonelier is a strange and trance-like book that presents the lives of four friends who meet in Kyoto and their multiple entanglements proceeding the passing of Comet Hyakutake in 1996. 💫With non-linear narratives that arc in trajectories unlike that of the comet, this book embraces the uncertainties of life’s unknowns, providing no easy answers despite a constant questioning and contemplation of what happened and what went wrong between them. Personally, I would have liked the novel to...
