If you look at this man and say that he isn't handsome, you'll find me in your closet eating your socks >:(

Hello, my friends! ♡
I thought I’d finally share my review for the book ‘Snow Flower and the Secret Fan’ by Lisa See today c:
(I’m tagging @rainberrydrops as well since I’ve mentioned this to her before — this is the book I was talking about !!)
I truly enjoyed this book, but I must warn you it can be very sad! It is a part of the story though, and it is a good story.
This book is set in nineteenth-century China, and follows the memories of Lily, and her laotong, Snow Flower.
A laotong or “old-same” was a special companionship between two girls with eight matching characters, and supposed to last over a lifetime.
Their deep friendship starts when they are seven, and Snow Flower, introduces herself by sending Lily a fan with a poem painted on it in nu shu! (Which is unique language Chinese women of the time created to communicate in secret).
Over the many years they send messages on fans, and share their experiences of foot-binding, arranged marriages, and family lives together. There is great tragedy and sorrows, but also much happiness and love. I won’t spoil anything, but the turning point of the novel is when their friendship is tested by an awful misunderstanding.
Will Lily and Snow Flower stay old-sames forever? Will their friendship survive?
Lisa See is *great* author! I learned a lot reading this honestly. Her historical accuracy is incredible, and the writing beautifully descriptive. I felt like I was right there with the girls, and side characters such as Lily’s cousin, Beautiful Moon, were also very intriguing, too.
There is some sensitive content, but the story of Lily and Snow Flower is handled well in my opinion. It was very sweet. I think my favorite memory of Lily’s is definitely the Temple of Gupo fair when they first sign the contract. It sets the stage for the whole book in my opinion!
Overall I recommend ‘Snow Flower and the Secret Fan’ to lovers of historical fiction or anyone who enjoys reading about girl life and friendships ~ !!

“GOOD POINT. THEY’RE both tricky and all about balance. take a lot of practice.” daisy skated around gracefully in a large circle, staying close to her friend in case she needed help. she remembered how difficult it was to learn at first and stay upright. daisy sucked in a breath, arm quickly shooting out, when kie almost stumbled. “no, no. humiliation doesn’t exist.” she grinned with a chuckle and grabbed onto her hand. “c’mon, we can do it together. try and move forward.”

spare some thoughts for diluc 🥺
the soft smell of chocolate fills the air as the timer for the end of the chocolate loaf’s bake time drew to a close, and diluc sauntered into the kitchen, ready to pull it from the oven and drizzle the cream cheese icing on it.
diluc loved baking for you. it was a talent few knew he had, something he’d been taught by his father, who had loved baking for diluc’s mother. crepus had wanted his sons to be able to gift their future lovers something more than jewels and mora that came with the riches behind the ragnvindr name, so he’d taught diluc how to bake and kaeya to sew clothes once the two boys showed interest in each craft. crepus took pride in the fact that his two sons, though unsure of love and lovers at that age, were so eager to learn regardless, and diluc was proud that he was able to create so many things for you while also honoring his father with every movement.
he takes the loaf out removes it from the pan kt had baked in, inhaling deeply and taking in the scent of chocolate before grabbing a whisk and dipping it in the creamy white frosting. he began to coat the top with the icing with an ease he’d had for nearly twenty years now, and as the front door closed not too far away, he smiled.
he couldn’t wait to give it to you.
