Postcards from No Man's Land, by Aidan Chambers.
"Some people say falling in love is a kind of madness whenever it happens. If that's so, all I can say is I would rather be mad than sane."
I was sooooo happy when I read this quote. We are like kindred spirits.
"He remembered Anne recording in her diary how she longed to be kissed... and sympathized, kissing, in his opinion, being among the best of pleasures. But why, he wondered... was such a comic action as melding your damp oral membranes with someone else's so desirable? Where did sure an impulse come from? What on earth could it have to do with evolution and human survival in the Darwinian circus that it should be so widespread and wished for?"
True that, double true.
This book was definitely not one of my favorites. I thought it was going to be a cool World War II story, but then it ended up being a love story that I didn't really like or approve of really. And there were just some really unnecessary things in it that could have been left out and made the book much more enjoyable and not random. I wouldn't recommend it.
