Almost done with this book and still have zero clue what the cover is supposed to be

this cover is so colorful and misleading

I think this should have been called “Chekhov’s Gun: The Play” instead. Feels appropriate

Classic children’s story beginning to start with the main character’s parents dying in a tragic way 👍

This book is literally evil. The writing style treats me like I have 0 brain cells, the characters are trash and treat each other like trash, it glorifies capitalism, it’s an egotistical, embarrassing, cringey self-insert fantasy, it’s fake deep brainrot reflections about love make me nauseous, the plot is mind-numbing and pointless. Like I said an evil, evil book. But people love it, which I find interesting.

Lydgate’s pissing me off. Just cause his first girlfriend was a murderer he thinks every woman is vicious and evil. I don’t like his and Rosamond’s dynamic on either side at all, it’s like the Victorian equivalent of a toxic relationship except in the modern day they’d just break up not get freaking married

speed running reading this book is no joke I feel 40 years older

btw I aspire to be as delusional as Mr. Brooke thinking everyone loves him everywhere he goes

All the town politics and clerical stuff is going right over my head, I’m only paying attention when Fred and Mary are in a scene together or Dodo and Will. Mary’s obviously the best character so actually just anything she’s in is great. I can not stand any of the men ugh 🤢 Maybe Will but even he’s pissing me off cause he only likes Dodo because she’s unavailable, that’s so cringe

This book feels like an 8 season tv show and I’m only on season 3 😮‍💨

“At least, Fred, let me advise you not to fall in love with her, for she says she would not marry you if you asked her.”

“She might have waited till I did ask her.”

I can already tell I’m going to love Fred and Mary’s plot line

Oh to be a Brontë sister

This book might kill me 😭

I have so many questions for you Jessa Hastings this writing style is downright criminal 😭 and I mean that both as a compliment and insult btw

I’m simultaneously so confused and fascinated by her stylistic and narrative choices

Mr. Peggotty’s speech about Emily 🥲

Dang I thought we would get away with an older book not having cousins fall in love since David has no cousins 😔 serious what is up with that?? Like why do they need to be related???

Prayers please this book is a brick 😭🙏

This book is soooooo long don’t be fooled 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨
