I ended up dropping this book and basically reading in general for over a year partly in my sheer frustration in how a specific part described women’s experiences in the time period.. to the extent I have been lugging around this book so much it’s literal cover has fallen off. But it’s time to finally finish this.

so much just happened in the past 20% or so, I have whiplash

The terminology used in this feels so patronising and unbearable, everytime “Feels” comes up (in the place of something scientific) I feel like I’m cringing into another universe. I don’t know if it’s intentional or not for this to read like an extremely dated tumblr post, but given it’s also talking down to the reader half the time it’s really taking away from the information it’s trying to relay.

“I’m not used to having a lover yet,” I whispered into her hair. “I’m not used to someone else being part of me like this.”

in absolute tears over everything right now

cutest thing I’ve read in my entire life

okay audiobooks for novels are too hard for me to focus on the details of, but I love Cherami Leigh so I’m gonna try to read my hardcopy at the same time and see if my head explodes

everything has been plausible so far but I can’t wrap my head around why she would do this

(spoilers)


oh my god, he’s actually a proxy of herself that’s with her best friend instead, this is even more insane somehow

(spoilers)

the really normal experience of having to create a man by focusing on your desires and it ends up being a male version of your currently estranged female best friend

i have no clue if this book is intended to radiate the level of gay energy that it does or not or what in the world any of this insane plot is possibly leading to

went into this blind and I don’t know what I expected. what the absolute fuck is happening ??????

what??????????????????
