wait this shit lowkey good. very bingeable. self aware. kinda slow when i think about it. like. the plot has only taken like three baby steps forward but the inner monologue is so expensive. but then again think its supposed to be a character focused book. not sure where it’ll go. raises interesting questions.

this shit better rock my shit

"He tried to stifle it with the argument that, in her absence, goodness was no longer possible in the world. But then the appearance of additional conspirators, a little boy and girl on bicycles, laughing as they tried to outpace a playful dog, struck him with the inescapable recognition that the world would and must go on, even if he, and the subject of his grief, would be present with every step."

god thank for audiobooks and libby. legit had to renew my library card because libby is so goated. also lowkey more about friendship and finding community, found family etc

ALSO I WOULD LIKE TO ADD DO THEY HAVE MERMAID SEX? OR IS THIS PART THE ONLY TIME THEY HAVE SEX AND ITS THEM BEING HUMAN

OK, so for this entire book that I have been reading, I have been trying to assemble some sort of way where I think the book could go to make the relationship work - basically the situation isn’t what it seems and so I’ve been piecing together what it could be and now that I’m getting to this part within the book, it just feels like they’re just yapping 🗿 about everything anything to make the plot work

THIS GIRL MESSAYYYYY AHHHDHDJAKL

GIRL SHUT UPPPPP 😭 her only dialogue “???” “more speculation”

the male voice for the audiobook makes me giggle so muchhhhh why does it sound like that 😭

okay i’ve gotten to the part where it does get a little political, let’s see where it goes

damn this shit sad as fuck. I’m not gonna lie kind of made me patriotic for a bit. I legit started tearing up when they said their goodbyes, and I was in the train station. Listened to the audiobook on my flight. The narrator so so good despite the fact that I was listening at it 1.80 speed. I just love the way how the author writes the passage of time. Gives me Pachinko vibes by the fact that it follows a family.

holy, the dread through those few chapters of him and his father, an affair, and that bat shit crazy babysitter that wants to kill him. so uneasy. for some reason the plot is quite simple … or straightforward might be the better way to say it. except it isn’t at the same time. so good

very whimsy, it’s from the perspective of an adult man remembering, retelling his childhood. i found it very interesting because it’s an older perspective, talking about childish thoughts and ideas, yet there is sort of a layered truth to it. only at the 20% mark did i really get into it. and now, im really icked and scared of worms

not gonna lie I feel like she always talks about the cool people that she’s met or saw at these parties and offense less of how they are run and the inner workings of the behind the scenes you know I think I really would’ve loved if she gave her own insights of how the business works and
less than of this this happened and I saw this in this person

Most interesting part of the book is covering the political landscape regarding international and global publications, all measured by not the good work that you do, but if your country is a viable marketplace

yo, my birth month was a karl lagerfeld guest edited vogue australian issue

interesting to know the business and big names in australia ig

nooooo REMEMBER

I can’t tell if I love or I don’t like the mini stories that are weaved into the plot. I know it’s necessary in the type of book the last unicorn is but it is a bit jarring for me to read, although I do enjoy it sometimes but when I feel they are too long or too random it does become a bit tiring I really enjoy the book though practically five stars so far. i love the writing.

this shit is FIRE

interesting magic system, <spoiler> not sure how the prison will play into the future book, also i feel like there’s a lotttt of exposition dump, the admission trial is interesting, and randomly she is introduced as a clan member spoiler></spoiler>
