legit don't know how this woman survived. humans are incredible.

consumer guilt: "i burn 100 bucks with a single click and feel the rush of guilt, instantly knowing which items were mistakes. where am i gonna wear a kimono and how am i gonna pull of culottes and why is this kind of wherewithal completely inaccessible to me until after clicking that 'place order' button? maybe it takes commitment to know you shouldn't have committed in the first place"

why do all men watch Scarface, Goodfellas, and Pulp Fiction🙄only thing she forgot was Wolf of Walkstreet, sometimes Godfather too

1) this is wretched i'm so horrified on jaycee's behalf. oh my god. bless this woman
2) i need to stop reading this during work. i keep trying not to cry😭

i cried in my car listening to this audiobook omg

Jodi Hildebrandt just said that babies are manipulative and entitled bc they cry bc they know someone will come running over to help because it believes the world revolves around them and their needs. she said BABIES R MANIPULATIVE.

beautiful chapter. reminds me of being a little girl

My Name: "she looked out the window her whole life the way so many women sit their sadness on an elbow"
such beautiful writing full of soul

i feel like the narrator is selfish af...but also like i can't say i wouldn't do the same thing. spoiler to come in my review

very human-centric - i don't think imagination or the feeling of love is specific to humans

"from the moment she gave birth to me, mom dedicated all of her time to me and dad. i never imagined that when she had such little time left, she would still be thinking of us two. she didn't have to, but she devoted her life to us to the very end" 😭😭😭😭

"didn't they say that a woman in love burned the dinner? and when she no longer cared, she served it up half raw" interesting

theme of misogyny: the night you asked me to marry you, you bought cherries...and told me they cost 6€...you know what is at the heart misogyny when it all comes down to it...it's simply about not giving"

surrender: a little forgettable tbh

close to the water's edge: harvard student, millionaire husband, weird family dynamic
