Solid read, wasn’t exactly what I was expecting. It could’ve honestly been so much longer so that the story could have had more space to grow.

It took me until Catching’s last few chapters that I realized what had happened, and what her stories truly meant. I was just reading to read, I normally don’t do well with poetry stanza type of writing. I found myself not really processing the words I was reading, kept zoning out and having to go back to re-read. Silly me didn’t think too much into the Catching stories until the very end where I was like….wait is this what I think it is.  
 

I like the delicate way they approached this story. I definitely want to go back and skim what I didn’t pick up on the first time.
