Like me, like me, like me!!!!

I swear, if I keep reading a chapter before bed, I'm going to get freaked out and end up DNFing it. (Good book so far but just such a creepy aura, which is peculiar because I'm normally fine with creepy books, but this may end up being too much for me.)

Read this as a teenager and thought it'd be a funny read as an adult, fully expecting it to not hold up in a lot of areas. A) fascinated by her experience with Southern women bc as a Southern woman, I do not have this experience with most of the women I know, B) already some super cringey moments about the South's history, and C) some... interesting perspectives about women thus far, but maybe a few useful tidbits?

Sharpe took the writing advice of putting your readers directly into the action from the beginning instead of explaining incredibly seriously, and I absolutely agree with this call. I don't think a book has ever hooked me this fast in my life, man.
