Barely took my nose out of this all afternoon

Damn this is so good Im spending shabbos by my grandparents and had to force myself to put the book down to spend time with them

Finally got my hands on this and she’s THICK and I’m excited

Prose smooth as butter hallelujah

This book is grating on my last nerve ng

Why are characters in a NOVEL of FAKE IMAGINARY FICTION talking abt current events from the real world 😭 within the first 17 pages we’ve already mentioned the pandemic, the crises in Ukraine and Israel, and the presidential election. like damn can we have some escapism PLEASE

And this was written 100 years ago?!?!

Having a blast but if they introduce even one more character so help me God

The best part abt reading books written 100 years ago is realizing how many things stay the same.
