Status Updates From Honey

This book was made for me lol

I can't believe it took until the last 25-30% to actually be good 😩😮‍💨

"She’s trying not to overthink, she fucked up, these things happen, sometimes you accidently beat someone to death, it will be okay."

Relatable

I swear the plot twist is gonna turn out that she has a brain tumor or something

'“What you do with men, Yrsa , there being so many all the time. It’s not right.”

“Says who, Jesus?”'

Jesus

“But when you’re passed out I won’t kill you, no, because I do like my butt play....”

This is so stupid

"every white man looks the same in swim shorts."

What

The FMC is so boring that she's literally making up problems omg

'“Do you think the fact you like being called a slut makes you a bad feminist?” he asks between large gulps of strawberry shake.

She didn’t think he had enough brain cells to put together such a question.'

Damn lol

"It was like, she imagines, if you were to throw a large bag of flour from a window, only to realize that there was glass in the flour. Only to hear it smash."

What

All the murders happen offscreen and that's so boring

"Memorizing pages from the bible her Grandmother would tell her that if hell was coming, it was for the white man first."

Damn

“I argued that the violence of race and colonialism isn’t something special only to white people; violence, sadism, is inherent to humans. People are just looking for an excuse.”

Girl THAT'S your interpretation of Twelve Years a Slave???

"She watched the clouds pass. She opened books. Closed them. The days turning monochrome. She’s struggling to see the point."

I'm struggling to see the point of this book too

'“It’s typical really, that he should go and die.” Anna lets out a laugh, throwing the tissues into the bin. “Leave me with the kids.”

“I’m really sorry for your loss.”

“Yes, well. He always was a selfish bastard.” There is a look to Anna’s eyes that Yrsa recognizes. “Sorry, you need to wash your hands.” Anna steps aside.'

At her husband's memorial??

"It was here—in his small room, hot with smells—that he’d told her he’d taken the virginity of eight girls, but that she had been the best. Yrsa misheard this as a compliment."

Wtf

"She’d forgotten how hot he is, and funny—and men aren’t funny."

Damn

"[...] She also brings to their home the ease of coolness and sophistication which, it’s assumed, all Scandinavians learn at finishing school."

What

'“No, you embarrassed me.”

What Yrsa would like to say is “please, kindly, fuck off,” but instead she says, “I’m sorry if that’s how you felt. Us lecturers can be a little harsher than your school teachers, there’s nothing to feel embarrassed about.”'

Okay this is funny

"Skye likes to stick to studying white couples who adopt black babies and make it their social media career."

Damn lol

"Unlike lots of Cambridge there is no charm to the Sociology department. The entrance feels like that of a sexual health clinic."

Oh

"She should end it, but—Ethan Brady is older by eight years, has a mortgage and works in commercial law (human rights would have been better but she’ll take it). He’s also not white, has read bell hooks and knows what to do with the clitoris. Meaning, in a world of low bars, he was coming in strong before he’d whipped her up Eggs Benedict with homemade hollandaise."

What's there to complain about??
