The Memory of Things was so difficult to rate because I wanted to love it more than I did; however, a couple aspects of the story just didn't work for me.

Let me lie and thieve and screw up until I rot away in hell, but don't just let me be no one, nothing, except that other girl. Because that other girl, the sad-eyed one staring back from the photograph on my computer, I don't want to be her anymore. I'm having a hard time rating this because it s...
This is what I think might have happened after Invincible Summer. Lordy, do you now how hard I cried after that one? Still, this was like that but less sharp because it is “the after” we’re made to deal with: how her mother for all intents is absent; how her father maybe, might be, could be not the ...
