Status Updates From مادونا صاحبة معطف الفرو

conflicted feeling. i loved the first 40 pages of this book with our narrator. his outside-in view of raif really setups up the latter portion of the story. but i can't help feeling as if raif's feelings of limerence are a by-product of him manic pixie dreamgirlifying maria. she outwardly rejects that image, but it doesn't seem to register to him. also it's a product of the time but the homophobia is not fun.
