i finished reading Her Name In The Sky last night and all I want to say about Kelly's books is:

[vlsapphire]

re-reading hnits and i got to the part where ms. carpenter said, "the unnecessary pain of this whole thing. it kills me." and i go yeah, imagine going through all of it again for the 3rd time

"But the only person Hannah watches is Baker. She rises unsteadily from her table and seems unaware that Clay is speaking into her ear. She meets Hannah’s eyes one more time, and Hannah feels the weight of the world between them."

Happy Good Friday from Her Name in the Sky.

"It's just us, right?"

Hannah walks to her. She touches her cheek and finds her eyes. There is a desperate light hanging on her pupils. A flicker of passion, a flicker of shame.

"It's just us."

I just finished “her name in the sky”

I don’t think I can ever move on. I have never had a book cause me so much pain and so much happiness. but mostly pain because OH MY GOD

I sobbed so much during that book and also had multiple seizures where I literally jumped out of my chair or bed or whatever in happiness

that book was amazing and I highly recommend but warning: I did need to take multiple breaks from it because it made my heart hurt so bad

This book is so good wtf

But while the whole earth prepares for spring, Hannah feels a great anxiety in her heart, for something dangerous has grown in her, something she never planted or even wanted to plant.

It’s there. She knows it’s there. If she’s truthful with herself, she’s probably known all along. But now, as the days grow longer and the Garden District grows greener, she can actually see it. It has sprung up at last, and it refuses to be unseen.

She tells herself it’s passing. It’s temporary. It’s intensified only because she’s a senior and all of her emotions are heightened. It’s innocent. It’s typical for a girl her age. It’s no more or no less of a feeling than everyone else has had at 17.

But deep down, deep below the topsoil of her heart, she knows it’s not.

Still, she pushes it down inside of her, buries it as far as it can go, suffocates it in the space between her stomach and her heart. She tells herself that she is stronger, that she can fight it, that she has control. That no one has to know.

I can ignore it, she thinks. I can refuse to look at it. I can stomp on it every time it springs up within me.

So she lies to herself that everything is normal. That she is normal. She carries herself through the end of the school week by refusing to acknowledge it. By refusing to align her heart with the growing sunlight and the nurturing heat and the flowering plants and the tall, proud trees.

Fanart cover for one of my absolute favorite books, Her Name In the Sky by Kelly Quindlen.

[daily-sapphic-song]

Im traveling rn and i listened to Your Name In The Sky by Kelly Quindlen and as someone who had a vagely similar experience the one year I went to catholic school, it almost made me cry haha. Its so real but it also feels like trauma incarnite. Its like almost everything that couldve gone wrong did go wrong. At least until like the last few chapters. Not sure how to feel about it, but it made me feel sad
