Status Updates From American Spirits

I’m needing to suspend my disbelief as much as I did reading real person fanfiction at 14. In fact, this whole THING reads EXACTLY like fanfiction. THATS what I haven’t been able to put my finger on. AAAHHH

I TAKE IT BACK I AM NOT ON BLUE’S SIDE YIKESSSS

This is straight up HORROR NOOOOOO

nah i’m always going to side with the PREVIOUSLY problematic but aiming to be better unmedicated bipolar character over the healthy, normal character who CHOOSES to descend into madness and become problematic for attention

also convinced the threatening reddit user is going to murder rose. i’d be thrilled.

i have a personal hatred for rose because she attempted to social climb her way to success, which is gross, but the reason i disrespect her is because she expects more than what is already more than ANYONE gets without manipulation.
lowkey on blue’s side as someone who was once unmedicated, she did nothing wrongggg

(baseless) predictions:
- one or more of these women is going to die
- one of these women will kill another
- all of them will die perhaps from fucking covid (hate reading about that so much)
- rose will become famous or will be killed by a reddit member

i literally hate everything about this book and at the same time i CANNOT put it down because wtf could POSSIBLY happen now

Oh no… we’re satirising unmedicated bipolar disorder. ATP just fucking add it to the list:
- harrowing reddit posts every second chapter
- undisclosed but actually a COVID book that calls it ‘the virus’ (ominous)
- SO MUCH VAPING??? nicotine described by a non smoker
- bisexual character who loves men, queerbaits
- satirising mania and unmedicated bipolar disorder
- song: ‘a vape cartridge called desire’

There is a song by the main character called, I shit you not, ‘a vape cartridge named desire’. Please kill me.

This book talks about nicotine as though it feels like heroin. I’m a nicotine addict it’s not alllllll that this is how 14 year olds or people who’ve never smoked talk about nicotine it’s terrible

“Are you scared about… COVID-19?”
Not only is this a reddit book. This is a COVID BOOK????? I am almost on my last straw and I spent MONEY ON THIS BECAUSE ITS NOT AT MY LIBRARY
