You are in my arms.
Maybe only in a dream,
Yet I feel you here.

Book Review: Atmosphere by Taylor Jenkins Reid
I flipped the book over in my hands in the centre of the small airport book shop. Although I had heard promising reviews of Atmosphere by Taylor Jenkins Reid, I hesitated. The synopsis didn’t compel me - I wasn’t much of a space girly. In high school it made me cringe when my peers would talk about the stars.

Beautiful
The way you capture presence in absence is deeply moving. It’s as if he’s right there in the quiet spaces between the lines.
Oh, so sad, I'm sorry!
I’m so sorry for your loss, can’t even begin to imagine what the depth and breadth of that grief could be. I hope you have strong support and keep writing through it. This is beautiful, and I hope your dreams give you comfort.
Heartwarming and creative.
Aw, Julie. This is so beautifully sad. Simple but so powerful. He looks like he was a fine gentleman. Sorry for your loss. (I know I have done comments to reply to etc and will get to them but saw this come up and clicked it.)
