THANK U GWGW FOR LENDING ME THIS i love this actually 🩷 when rosario was revealed to be matilda and ambrosio's feeling towards her immediately switched from paternal affection to lust... i feel like lewis is blaming ambrosio's predatory behavior partially on his chastity vows and the puritanical values that they r rooted in and that's so interesting to me

gna finish this rn actually but i have to update every 5 minutes. i think my ultimate issue w this book is that it tries to combine a narrator who is detached from literally everything in her life + super flowery prose and it just doesnt work. like u could say Lucy dgaf abt anything except susannah but it doesnt make for a compelling read. also lucy is just boring #idk

this would have done a number on me and my taste had i read it in like 2022/2023 but now im just kinda like. Meh. Whatever. Lucy feels weirdly detached from the world around her despite waxing poetic abt susannah every other page and im realizing that detached narrators rarely if ever work for me ESPECIALLY IN 1ST PERSON like for the love of god. this is making me wanna revisit oranges are not the only fruit

im like 2 chapters in but i keep tearing up every other page for some reason. idk if there's something wrong w me or what!! i feel so maternal towards this boy ☹️

very exciting i ❤️‍🩹 gothic horror

the writing style is driving me insane i cant w all the metaphors

currently reviving all the phases i had when i was 12 what can i say

help

my copy only has 230 pages (i didnt think of scanning it im too lazy to do it now my bad) ill finish it later today i have a lot of thoughts be prepared for a lengthy and probably very messy review lol .

wow yeah get it i guess (ill read more later today i have class)

going through this very slowly ..... 5 pages at a time

trying to take my time w this and prioritize comprehension since its such an interesting read so far. i really need to read abt the background of this book and what was dostoyevskys reason for writing it

was going to start september with a bang but instead im starting it with stephen kings middest book cause my mom told me i should read it

almost done w this i just wanna document my thoughts kind of??? i lovee the sapphic romance but i just got to the plot twist and like what.

this is so fast paced

rly easy to read and get immersed into!! im kinda invested in evelyns story but like. whys monique here idgi what is she doing

🤔

the main guy sucks ass
