comfort book szn!!

thoughts so far: pacing is wildly fast which is probably necessary bc there are sooo many moving parts but still i feel like we’re skipping huge chunks of time. luca has started giving me the ick again unfortunately and the power dynamics in the scene w sabine were more uncomfortable than sexy within the context of the story to me. touraine deserves better than luca and pruett deserves better than all these mfs!!!

i had so much shit i needed to do on my days off this week. oops

this book is so awesome dude. jaw dropped

never seen the way i feel about the south and appalachia and being a queer leftist in this part of the country and the asshole liberals from boston or portland and their unasked for opinions about that put with so much clarity into writing:

“For once the disease of reading has laid hold upon the system it weakens it so that it falls easy prey to that other scourge which dwells in the ink pot and festers in the quill. The wretch takes to writing. … So he has passed through the gates of Death and known the flames of Hell.” lmaoooooo

“‘Maybe I want to know what it’s like, to not be afraid.’ And Charlotte cannot blame her—not when she’s spent her life carrying a purse full of rocks—but she doesn’t understand that what she’s asking for is heavier.”
