This book keeps breaking my heart... it's so awful as to what's happening but still compelling...

Did Rooney actually make me believe in a long-awaited romance just to crush it to pieces? ...should have known better!

Please please let me be wrong....I hope it's not a werewolf plot.

I really tried to get into this book, but I knew it was in trouble when I put it down to read another book... and then picked it up again only to think about starting my next book instead. I think the writing style is too much telling not enough showing or showing,then telling just to make sure. I couldn't bring myself to care what was happening to the granddaughter's narrative either. Maybe I need to retry later...

We all know this fish...

"Some minds are wonderful for keeping their bloom in this way, as a patriarchal gold-fish apparently retains to the last its youthful illusion that it can swim in a straight line beyond the encircling glass. Mrs. Tulliver was an amiable fish of this kind, and, after running her head against the same resisting medium for thirteen years, would go at it again to-day with undulled alacrity."

Slow going cause it's actually very sad and depressing... but at the same time painfully hopeful

Phew, 😅 I thought Ellie was going to be mean, but my heart was warmed with Ellie's actions!

I sat down at my desk. I switched on my green lamp. I pulled out my notebook from the top drawer. I opened it and turned to a fresh page. I reached for a pencil, sharpened it — and began to plot it out. 📝

Geeeeeeez! Way to drag it out! 🤨
