The Reading Frog
is finished
I'm a bit unsure what to think.
Some aspects I LOVED. But I felt a little disconnected from some of the events towards the end of the book.
There is a deeper message here that hit me on a personal level alongside some really relatable thoughts and feelings, but I'm unsure if its execution does it full justice.
I will think on it a little before rating, since this might be my weird current reading mood speaking.

"They're called wear patterns. Like grooves in a wall where weary travelers rest their heads. Or indentations on steps where pilgrims walked in prayer. They're well-worn areas that prove humans used something and used it often. To be loved into oblivion."

"Following orders is the worst sin."
(...)
"Why is that?"
(...)
"Because then you can't take accountability for the sin. You can blame someone else. Go your whole life bowing under the weight of a corrupt authority."
— What a banger of a quote damnnnn

"I reframe my time alone here as a martyr's sacrifice, a saintly retreat (...) Like Joan of Arc burning in her armor, cursing out the enemies of Satan and giving up her life for all of France. Or maybe she was crazy like I'm crazy. Maybe I'm just as bad as her, continuing a cycle of women who thought they had to die rather than live and be "too much." "
