9 months into the year of meats… akiko’s sections are getting more and more upsetting

I know Jane’s sections have always been in first person, but it feels like there’s been a shift. maybe I missed it in the beginning, but there’s more phrasing here that makes it such that she is directly writing this. she’s directing now, and as such she is starting to speak directly to the reader. idk

really enjoying this so far! always love an interesting framing device, and I like ozeki’s writing style. I’ve been reading this a few pages at a time during my lunch breaks the past few weeks, but it’s been much nicer to read it in bigger chunks during this holiday break :)

still intrigued by how this is framed… I think I recognize what the payoff will be but hmmm

fascinated by the framing of this narrative. there’s the obvious work hard at your dreams part that comes with any biography but what’s with the prominence of the civil war and why does it mention the underground railroad? I understand that any war would leave an impact on a life, especially at this formative age, but I am so curious as to where this is going.

lowkey this actually made me really emotional

the school changed my schedule so lowkey i do not need to be reading this for lesson plans but i lowkey may continue reading (i wanna know what her wish is)

so cool

like I just feel bad for her bro

honestly really upsetting

this is just sad bro

this is so funny

restarting again 😝

y’all chill I’m reading this on the train

BOOOOOO 🍅🍅🍅🧅🧅🧅🧅🧅

hey. that frightened me. don’t do that.

dunno if I’m a fan of this particular pivot

ohhhhhh i see it’s like the game

“effortlessly made a storm with her eyes” is actually so funny

anyway i noticed that this book takes a lot of time to explain gaming stuff that i already know but i guess it wouldn’t be fair to assume most readers would know this stuff? idk maybe i’m just too goated
