Status Updates From Tryin' To Sleep In the Bed ...

what i find so interesting about this book as compared to better than i know myself is how nuanced and layered the characters are. reading this book is a challenge because of how dynamic the characters are. it is easy to write gayle off but she was also a product of the time. she was born in the 60s where motherhood and being a wife was common. and i think pat, despite the help she’s gotten from gayle, resents her.

you’re not gonna make me hate gayle. a woman in the 60s thinking a man is her ticket to the rest of her life wasn’t uncommon.
