The Little Liar by Mitch Albom

BATB score: 10/10 🥹

wow, Mitch Albom, you did it again! 👏

Best to: wow what a story, a little bit of fiction, a lot of non-fiction, written gracefully, emotionally narrated, engaging storytelling structure, happy closure ending, oh so beautiful 🫠

Best as: “It was a time in human history where the world was cleaved in two, those doing nothing about the horror and those trying to stop it. A world of light and dark.” and unfortunately, this is what is happening today in Gaza right now… it breaks my heart for humanity and the lack of humanity

BATB lingering thought: “When the Wolf stirred his followers in the 1930s, it worked not because Germans were inclined to hate Jews, but because all humans are inclined to hate others if they believe they are the cause of their unhappiness. The trick is to convince them.”

Best for: hope for humanity ❤️‍🩹

Best quotes: “Sometimes, it is the truths we don’t speak that echo the loudest.”

“A man, to be forgiven, will do anything.”

“But you serve the Lord or you serve man, and if you choose man, there may be no limit to the orders you will have to follow, or your cruelty.”

“By the time you share what a loved one longs to hear, they often no longer need it.”

“The truth of love is that when it fades away, you don’t really care less. You don’t care at all.”

“In the end, scars tell the story of our lives, everything that hurt us, and everything that healed us.”
