After the events of the Titanic, Crowley and Aziraphale have fallen apart. Crowley has moved away to Berlin, leaving behind a broken, confused, and stubborn Aziraphale in Soho. By the time Aziraphale realizes he cannot live without Crowley, our favorite demon has found herself in an abusive relationship, struggling with addiction, and resistant to any attempts at being made up with by one moon-eyed angel. Will the Ineffable Spouses be able to reconcile before things go from bad to worse?

BOOK REVIEW:

“White Nights” by Fyodor Dostoyevsky

(Penguin Little Black Classic, a.k.a. the most compact way to feel emotionally obliterated in public)

“I’m a dreamer; I have so little real life…”

That line alone could be tattooed across the ribcage of every overthinking, romantically-inclined, loneliness-soaked twentysomething I know.

White Nights is one of those tiny books that rips you open gently. Just 80-ish pages of a nameless narrator spiraling through love, memory, and metaphysical yearning under the St. Petersburg moon—and yet it wrecked me harder than most novels three times its size.

It’s about the ache of youth. The kind of naïve wisdom that believes in love after one walk and two glances. It’s about being so introspective you forget how to live. About feeling like life is happening to everyone except you. It’s dreamy and desperate and so, so human.

Dostoyevsky’s narrator doesn’t live in reality—he lives in emotional footnotes. He talks about youth like it’s a distant country, but he’s clearly still trapped in it. Romanticizing solitude while quietly begging someone to see him.

My annotated copy is full of rainbow tabs, clinging to quotes like:

• “I just can’t help re-living such moments as these in my dreams.”

• “And you ask yourself: where are your dreams? And you shake your head and say: how quickly do the years fly by! And again ask yourself: what have you done with the years? Where have you buried your best days? Did you live or not?”

• “I see people, but nevertheless I am alone.”

If you’ve ever felt like the loneliest person in a crowd…

If you’ve ever loved someone more in your imagination than in real life…

If you’ve spent more time organizing your life into Pinterest moodboards than actually living it—read this.

5/5 stars

I like my books like I like my coffee — existential and over-annotated.
