“Glenns” of this world, angry sociopathic men, stay away from women and seek professional help

I already known it’ll be a five star read. It’s living up to the hype

I’m more than half way through and so confused 😅

Now that I’ve given it some thought, if I were given the opportunity to travel back in time, I would revisit certain events to hopefully change the outcome. As far as future goes, no, I don’t want to know 🫠

Too many details, too many names… It makes it hard to follow the story. I’m losing interest with each page 😒

🥱

“Nothing will change” chapter. I can’t believe Dolly thought it was a good idea to include that chapter. I’m weirded out by how selfish and jealous she is of her friend. A bit toxic imo

“I carried on because, at every turn,society was rewarding me for my self-inflicted torture.I received compliments,I received propositions,I felt more accepted by people I didn’t know…”
“I felt like I had finally earned the right to be taken seriously as a woman…”
“I had equated love with thinness and, to my horror, reinforcement of this belief was everywhere.”

Skinny privilege is a real thing😒

“It’s a mutual, fair, and successful system of turn-taking that we’ve long used, having always both been single—I sacrifice my night to help her pursue a boy, I bank this act of goodwill and can cash it in at any point to have her do the same for me. It’s shagging democracy. It’s swings and roundabouts.”

Shagging democracy 😂

“There’s something more final than forever. It’s never. Never is infinite. I would never see her again. I would never touch her again.”

Stooop it😭

“It’s his house as much as it’s yours. And frankly, you should give it to him. You’re the one who wants to end the relationship, and with the shifts he works, it’s better for him to be close to the hospital. Unless you’re planning on taking on a higher workload, I don’t know how you can argue that you’re more entitled to it.”

Nothing like supportive father 🙄
