i’m invested

turns out this is the first volume we read before finding all the others, but we’re still revisiting it because i don’t remember all the little details

borrowed this from the reading room in cascapedia, i feel like im stuck in a physical book reading slump, so im thinking something short might help me through it

just finished the first part, the narrator always throws me off a little

much talk of religion and jo is a little odd… why are we wishing to marry and love our older sister?? all that to keep meg in the family forever

Meg was really relatable this chapter:

“What shall you do all your vacation?” asked Amy, changing the subject, with tact.
“I shall lie abed late, and do nothing,” replied Meg, from the depths of the rocking chair. “I’ve been routed up early all winter, and had to spend my days working for other people; so now I’m going to rest and revel to my hearts content.”

slur count: 1

okay i’ve gotta admit, these past few chapters have left me stressed out

who am i?

i don’t really care for virgil’s pov

some comments on gender and sexuality that didn’t quite sit right with me, but i’m generally pretty interested in the story

my mom’s recommendation

putting this on pause till i get back to mtl (had to return it to the library)

club president twinning fr, also not the famed “you never really knew whether to laugh or to cry” coming to say hi here too

oh!!!!!! why are we forgiving a rapist..? wtf

Not the easiest to understand, but I’m enjoying the impressions I’m getting from it. Lots of darker themes intertwined too.

was all fun and games until jin zixuan showed up, not even motivated to finish the chapter now

Wow, Wen Qing’s role is really minor and the whole golden core switch is really brushed over compared to the show.

Started reading this with Yizhen, I don’t remember all that much of the story, so it’s a fun choice for me too!

time for everyone to die i guess, and for lots of trauma… but at least Wen Ning has shown up!! very different timeline for him than in the drama
