I wonder if in a shocking narrative turn Jem’s crush won’t be as evil hearted as he has believed for ten years!

At last I’m reading the secret history

There are elements of this book that are really good but the relentless lists and repetition are among her recurrent structural choices and on audio I’m being literally punished by it

The way my jaw dropped in depression as she reports that more people in the US have Amazon prime than vote for presidents

I was vibing so hard until she did an entire chapter that is just her own Google search prompts. On audio this seemingly unstoppable number of minutes of uninterrupted listed search queries WILL make you / me wish you were dead

explaining this book aloud to a person in my real life and getting the most incredulous looks imaginable

“My wagon was hitched to a SEX PERVERT” okay this made me laugh out loud

“A rehearsed simulacrum of human empathy”

“The abuse and addiction market would be a good fit and a natural next step for Purdue.”
