no offense to Ulysses but I had to put it in my DNF… this book on the other hand? I’m already fucking hooked

I’m only a few pages in and this is already engrossing and horrifying in a way few books I’ve ever read have been

Molly Bloom kinda serving the first manic pixie dream girl ever kinda? also obsessed with how the grammatical person keeps changing (well not 100% obsessed with it but trying to convince myself that it’s a fun stylistic choice on Joyce’s part)

this is already blowing my mind with how kaleidoscopic everything is… I feel like no one can call themself unpredictable ever again after reading this shit. oh also! scrotumtightening! cuckquean! agenbite of inwit! contransmagnificandjewbangtantiality!

wow i’m plowing through this lol

jesus I got so far on this book I started today cause work was suuuuch a breeze and I had hours upon HOURS to just sit and do nothing lol

okayyyy lesbian time?

oh back to this bleakness lol

bro when I was at page 131 and she said “[a]n action I had been deeply thinking about, the transformation of the connotation of certain words” I was like oh fuck… I know where this is going 💀 alright Joe strap in but then she didn’t end up talking about it and actually smartly skirted around most of the things we already know about Easter while revealing new things many of us didn’t know… slay

can this kinda be my life please I’m begging

alright so I’m only reading this because I bought it for my brother for christmahanukkah and I wanted to make sure it wasn’t poisonous… so far it’s exceeding any possible expectation I could’ve ever had

plzzzz don’t tell me Vanya is about to be a #stalker girl… I’m too tired for this

already invested, this has Agatha Christie-level pacing

oh wow okay that last chapter? now my thoughts on this are even more conflicted lol

with every sentence this book gets cuter and dorkier

this book so cute and dorky

motharfuckar it is true 🧐

everyone in this book autistic? okay slay

if when the more philosophical part comes it remains as enjoyable as it is now, uninfused, then I could see this being another 5 star book from meeee

hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I have a feeling something even more sinister is on the horizon… like damn that was an intense reveal just now but idk I have a feeling that ain’t everything weird about Hailsham 🧐

Norfolk is purgatory? wha-

oh also like… I’m enjoying how flawed all three main characters already are, relatable shit 🙂‍↕️

already hooked but tell me why I thought that Kathy, Ruth, and Tommy were gonna be siblings 💀

damn. oh wow. I haven’t read a depiction of losing one’s virginity this visceral in a LONG time 🫠

I’m feeling emo hunnybunny

this book make me not feel emo and nostalgic challenge 🗣️FAILED🗣️

“…am I hot? It’s not possible is it? I always assume girls look at me because they think I’m strange, not because they think I’m cute. Mom tells me I’m so handsomeadorablegorgeous, but that’s her job. How do you know if you’re hot?” (p. 127)

bro is Noah actually me? have genuinely had this exact thought process before, several times 😭 my mom didn’t call me that during my teen years though 🫠

brb crying @ how nostalgic this is making me… did I have a somewhat boyfriend when I was 14 who I did all this stuff with? probably!

🥺

this cheesy and cute and coming-of-age vibes
