Dude…you have to stop. Go home

Bro keeps putting words in my mouth

Oh love the repetition of “human beings”
Yet another high school book that i missed out on

So at first I imagined Clarisse as Luna lovegood and then for a moment I imagined her as Jodie foster in silence of the lambs (aka Clarice) and then she was someone I made up in my mind. And I can’t help but imagine captain beatty as beetee (hunger games)

Ohhh big fan of the end of this chapter.

“The demands of other people do not dissolve; they only multiply. More and more complex, more difficult. Which is another way, she thinks, of saying: more life, more and more of life.”

I’m very worried that something that may or may not happen may or may not be falling into place

Peter pissing me off. A lot of that has to do with how his parts are written but it’s not just that!! #TeamIvan that’s the point of this book right?

Nevermind it’s fine

Literally what is happening. Is this a conversation? I’ll probably like the book by the end of it but Sally Rooney’s writing style drives me insane

“The more difficult it was to love the particular man beside us, the more we believed in Love, abstract and total.”

Really love this page and the next

“But remember that forgiveness too is a power. To beg for it is a power, and to withhold or bestow it is a power, perhaps the greatest.”

Beginning of chapter 23 is some of the best writing in this book so far, wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow

They’re both so stupid but sooooo real

Literally what is the point. Just use quotation marks

We’re so back. Don’t want to spoil anything for lianna…some of these characters…EEK!

wait i can’t stop help i need to get up early to take my niece to moana 2 tomorrow!!

just remembered that this book exists oops! stopped in the middle of reading to say that this has me thinking about that quote from the haunting of bly manor where dani says “people do, don’t they? mix up love and possession. i don’t think that should be possible. i mean, they’re opposites, really. love and ownership.” that was entirely typed by memory except for the “i mean,” i added that later

can’t stop
