“I love you better. Else why would I have given myself the trouble of hurting you.” - pg 28 :(

Too long and lowkey boring asf

I have never known sorrow to be explained so elegantly

I adore this book so far and I feel like I really did not expect that given its premise. But the middle is dragging a bit

Not sure how to explain this but it feels like it was written by a man

This is unbearable and somber but also so beautiful and filled with love 😭

Well that was not expected ..

Ironically I feel like this is how some of the ppl ik actually talk abt their BFs

“To look at her, you might not guess that inside she is laughing and crying, at her own stupidities and luckinesses, and at the strange enigmatic ways of the world which she will spend a lifetime trying to learn and understand.”

Anyone that knows me knows I adore all things Sylvia Plath. She can explicate the inexplicable. She finds structure in disorder. She is haunting in her absence. It’s like she explains my mind better than my mind ever can could or will

So when I came across a novel that reimagines her life I was enthralled by the way it characterizes her mental illness, her relationship with sexton, and her legacy.

This is by far the most accurate figure skating NOVEL I’ve read also like tell me why Johnny weir literally narrated part of it!!!! Hello
