what the hell. sure

FINALLY

don’t judge me for this …it’s for school

after the line “she understands books more than she understands people” i am fully hate reading this

the elisa lam story has put a bad taste in my mouth i’m sorry

the beginning is so unbelievably confusing but now that i’m in the thick of it i am loving this

this is miserable

i NEED to go to sleep but i can’t put this book down i already know i’m gonna read it on the bus tomorrow and make myself carsick

this is fcking crazy i don’t even know what else to say

i’m freaking tf out like genuinely losing it i feel like i need to run laps around my neighbourhood

um . yes

why i am embarrassed to admit that i kind of like it so far..

everything i read from her i’m like ohhh ya. this is it

loving the gross weird ten year old girls but stream of consciousness is not my favourite style

i think i’m liking it but hoo boy is it overwritten
ex.
“Yet what caught my attention wasn't her dress, but her face. Or more precisely, her expression. No, you couldn't call it an expression, since what wavered over her face was hardly that. In other words, I was struck by the absence of an expression.” p.24

you did not need to say all that!

her stepsister is a literal wolf but she’s the feral one .. stop

starting off with puberty as body horror? i’m in love already

i just don’t know if stream of consciousness is for me
but if you were a troubled / out of control kid this stings! oh my god !

compulsive and weird as fuck woman ?? ✓
absurdly strange and compelling plot ?? ✓
secrets and mysteries and figuring stuff out ?? ✓
i can’t put this down

sometimes the run on sentences are SO hard to read but then also they make me read insanely fast .. it’s a paradox

idk what the hell is going on

i’m keeping an open mind … but starting with a quote sourced from an instagram caption does not bode well

toni morrison is a genius and it’s not even funny

this is absolutely a gay allegory and i’m convinced there’s no other way to read it

ok i get it. the writing is so beautiful

i love you melissa broder

i will conquer this book . thru gritted teeth … if it kills me…
