"Over the course of my 30+ year career as clinical psychologist I tried to help kids growing up in the kind of ‘bruising home lives’ Backman portrays in My Friends. Thus, I can easily confirm that he got it right in many, many ways. The horrible impac"

this is not an "easy" read. and i don't mean that to deter anyone. this is a complicated read. and one i don't really want to spoil for anyone who hasn't read the synopsis or hasn't seen any of the other umpteenth things that divulge what happens. so ...more |

“You would be wise not to underestimate the power of neutrals. Sometimes they can be misunderstood as boring, but where would fashion be without the little black dress or the crisp white shirt? The truth is, we wouldn’t be able to create our richest, darkest colors without black and there would be no pastel goodness without white. Not to mention that when you study neutrals themselves along the spectrum from warm to cool tones, there are literally hundreds of tints and shades to consider. Neutrals are beloved because they go with everything. They mix well with each other, but more importantly, they mix beautifully with every other color.”

“Interestingly enough, the color yellow is known to activate our memories, so perhaps coloring that yellow sun gets embedded into our brains more than the green trees.”
