i'm GAGGED (spoilers but the book has been out for 215 years so who cares)
Jane Austen writes annoying people better than anyone else. Her protagonists are always my favorite people ever and then she introduces new people and immediately drags them to filth and I love it.

EDWARD YOU HOE!! I get Elinors heart is broken but Lucy seems sweet I feel like the will be besties I hate that they're fighting.

Marianne!! GET A GRIP GIRL!!

"Men are very safe with us, let them be ever so rich."
I'm deaaaadd

sadly can't be bothered to care about this more, dnf

Libby rental expired.... really gonna consider just popping this onto the DNF shelf :/

I like the way Ivan is written, despite being so awkward, he seems the most lifelike and easy to imagine of all the characters. But why are Ivan's chapters sO long....and so far always include a sex scene?? Why??

also Peter sucks? I hate his chapters. So maybe i don't actually mind that Ivans chapters are longer than his.

Umm................ well okay. Age-gap romance is one of my biggest icks so this better shape up to something better real quick. Coulda done without the drawn out the sex scene :/

""you can love more than one person." Of course you can, but Marriage is memory, marriage is time." (p. 197)

Chapter 17 was a really touching one

i love when you get a character's internal monologue along with their external words

also what IS IT about an irish accent?? heavenly tbh

Narrated by an irishman heeeellllll yeah

So interesting TRUE to hear Didion speak about grief taking over the body, and yet in our current society, grief is expected to be hidden

Gosh, I'm going to have to take this slowly. You can feel her grief just dripping off the page. But what a gift to be able to write to eloquently about the people you love so deeply.

Gosh, Christie is just a master of mystery. She's just so good!
