GRANNY JUNE!!!! MY HERO, I LOVE HERRRRR

“the bomb was meant to show how far they’ll go to get what they want. before they try again—“ TRY WHAT 😭

I FREAKIN CALLED IT FROM PAGE TWO 😂😂😂

dude, not a prize for reaching a certain number 😭

i SNORTED at “boys in the hood,” all i can think of is “RICKYYYYY” 😭 and i know thad not funny but i hated Boyz n the Hood!!

this Thom Gunn poem is giving Milk and Honey, i’m not a fan 😭

you know, i’m only 13 pages in, but i’m honestly kind of surprised for Jude supposedly being the protagonist, he is massively a background character at the moment. like where are you? 😂

i have been reading this book as of late, and i’m honestly surprised that Maysilee has some humanity within her 😂 but i feel terrible for poor Lou Lou, she’s probably so messed up by stuff that happened she doesn’t know which way is up.

i’m SCREAMING at this “because stifling trauma is just good manners.” i don’t know why this is so funny to me 😭

“i sometimes feel like maybe some more worthy victims space is being taken up by my 20-year-old troubles, that i should be able to manage this by myself rather than gobbling up much needed and sparse resources because of my inability to move on.” GIRL SAME 😭😭

this essay hurt to read. like i felt genuine emotional pain trying to finish this. it is so hard to be a person trying to survive being around your abuser in a picture-perfect Black Family.

“there are better things to be than good.” that hits right now—i always felt like i had to be good for the people around me in this new normal i’ve found myself in.

okay call me the heck out why don’t you 😭 jeeeeeezzzz

that “it’s not like he raped you” hit way too close to home. 😅

Maysilee is SPICY. like i was NOT expecting this 😂😭

Henry’s only twenty-ONE?? he talks so pretentiously for being a full year younger than i am now 😂😭

genuinely did not realize how old these people are. they’re all in their mid twenties! it makes sense the level of pretension they have now 😂😭

never trust anyone who eats pistachios. (i’m allergic, i can say this lol)

Bunny is probably the most intolerable character i’ve read about and he’s not even here to tell anyone anything about himself. honestly though his actions prove Henry’s point… doubt that it was enough reason to kill him though.

of COURSE Henry would write in his diary completely in Latin 😂😭

the fact that Arc said necklace reminded me of Blythe Baird. like gee whiz 😭

the more i read, the more my rating flip flops and i can’t decide what this book is going to receive at the end 😂

okay. y’all know i LOVED Betty. that was my favorite book i read last year and one of my favorite books of all time. i have HIGH hopes for this 😂

and that right there is the epitome of a generational curse.

the more i read this book the less cerebral it feels. solid 4 stars tbh

i thought we already established that personal problems and provisions are NOT A REASON TO CHEAT ON YOUR SPOUSE

this book and the chaos that hasn’t even happened yet is just truly wild 😂

you know the more i read this book the more The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo makes sense 😂

what you are bringing to the table in your marriage is NOT AN EXCUSE FOR YOU TO CHEAT

i relate to this so much 😭
