I saw this book a few months before I saw it again. You know, the usual, I see it in some pricey bookstore, salivate and obsess about it a bit before putting it back in the shelves, and then find it luckily in some Booksale branch. I love how the Universe works :D

Anyway, it's about this girl who has synesthesia, an affliction I am fascinated with, and how she has this cat named Mango, because said cat reminds her of.. um, that fruit. I loved how the girl describes everything, from how she tasted some letters to how colorful someone's name is. Or was it the other way around? I wish I paid more attention whilst reading it, wish I wrote down unforgettable descriptions, because there were many, but I think I was reading it in a hurry and this means I should read it again, more slowly, savoring this time.

I do remember feeling that I wanted to have this girl as a younger sister. That maybe she could describe things she saw to me, and how it would make a lifetime of difference, seeing things anew.
