sky daddy - kate folk |
loved |
i devoured this in one sitting while my train to dc was delayed. this was such a delightfully weird read, equal parts big hearted and grotesque. it follows linda, a woman who is only sexually attracted to planes and who desperately longs to "marry" a plane (read: die in a plane crash). while i don't share the narrator's affection for planes (i lowkey hate flying, which is why i was totally fine with waiting 6 hours for an 18 hour train ride), i have a soft spot for characters who feel like they cannot at any cost reveal their true selves to the people around them. at no point did i know what was going to happen next, but this turned out to be a surprisingly sweet story. |
