“I accepted my natural inclinations, where others were determined to change them, and maybe I avoided telling people how I felt because when I tried to, they didn't believe me, as if I had nothing better to do than invent multilayered fictions beneath which to hide my true feelings, which wouldn't make sense because if I were lying about my feelings, I would lie toward normalcy, not away from it.”

“I was the least chill person on earth and I knew it. Everyone else had a skeleton and I was just a bunch of organs. I couldn’t keep a single thing to myself if it mattered. I needed to leash myself like a dog. I needed to tell myself to sit or I’d show everyone my belly.”

and just like that, i only needed to be in a different mood

getting weirder!

so far it feels like it’s missing something but idk what yet

oh my god?? still the woman’s book but don’t callously cut the historical relevance?!?!?! what is wrong with june!

This book is going to be a struggle to get through… I can already tell.

She over describes everything. I don’t need a full paragraph between every two words of dialogue explaining the person’s inner thoughts! & if she mentions someone’s future 1 more time I might scream. I also hate when authors keep alluding to some past event to create mystery instead of JUST TELLING me. I’m not intrigued. i’m BORED.

Perfectly paced! Superrrr long chapter though.

I’m only 25 pages into this book and it is already excellent, wow. It’s a book club read that I’ve been putting off for weeks and now I feel that I should’ve started reading it weeks ago!!!
