"The Curtains Were Blue" unfolds in three poignant movements, each shedding light on a distinct chapter of Aria's tumultuous road through love and self-discovery. The book reads like a poetic diary of adolescence blooming into young adulthood, inviting readers to reflect on their own growth journeys. Past relationships, unresolved feelings, and the fight to know oneself almost merge into one. We follow Aria navigating the labyrinth of her emotions and memories, only to get to the introspective reckoning and a serendipitous occurrence that shapes her final sense of self.
