"officially halfway into the bell jar!
I have really mixed feelings so far,
and those feelings are definitely leaning more towards negative ones. If I had to rate it now that I’m halfway there, I’d give it a 2/5 :’/ I will say, I’m feeling a bit better about it now on my second read, but I’ll get more into it once I finish ^^" — Jan 04, 2026 04:37PM
