The Rainbow Comes and Goes

3.5 stars

I wouldn't have given this book a second glance if it wasn't for my mother. She always reads the books that I recommend/like (and she usually loathes them because they are much to sad for her taste) so I figured that I could read a book of her choosing. It took me a while to get into it but once I did, I looked forward to hearing Anderson's and Gloria's thoughts on love, life, and everything in between. It was actually quite beautiful.

My favourite lines were:
“Although I tend to be hard on myself and don't often feel I am qualified to give advice, there is one thing I do believe in above all else: love.

Love. Is. All.

Despite all that had happened to me, or perhaps because of it, of this I am certain. Can one ever love too much? Trust too much? Not in my book. Love and trust are my truths. They rarely fail, except when I don't listen to my instincts.” Gloria Vanderbilt in a letter to her 17-year-old self

You took all those words right out of my mouth, Ms. Vanderbilt. #truth
