As the title asks, I believe we all have at least one book scene that REALLY stayed with us and has for one reason or another been popping into our heads at least semi-frequently. Which one is it for you, and why do you think that is? (I am ok with spoilers, but do cover them for the sake of everyone who isn't)
I havs a few, but the one thay really stuck with me is from The Way I Used To Be by Amber Smith, it's my favorite book so I have to mention it. I don't want to spoil it so I'll just say that if you've read it, you might remember the Monopoly flashback that appears around ¾ in. I think it's such a good representation of both the main character growing up, but also speaks volumes about how clearer things are in retrospect and how powerless it makes us feel to fall into that endless 'what if' loop. I could probably write a whole essay on this book, but I'll keep it at that.
On a shorter note, some of the scenes that haunt me are very random. For example I very randomly have the scene in A Little Life where it's explained that white marble in a bathroom could be a bad idea because blood stains marble? Like, ok, why does this one, out of the entire 700 page book, appear in my head like twice a month?
