the imagery of the human face disease is making my leg nauseous

"...whose fixed smile nevertheless had the impermanent quality of something stamped into uncooperative material." I'm using that now

oh !

unrelated to the page i’m on but i know well enough to stop here before i crash out any further

i mean now that i think about it this is the most aromantic romance ever

OH GOD WHYYYYYYY NOOOOOO PLEASEEE 💔💔💔

NOOOOOOOOOOOO

OHHHHH

dear god

aliceeee :((( 💔

i would say finding that much pleasure in the scent of a book is so real but i'm not quite that deranged

talking about s*x on page 67 is wild

now this is the self-delusion i’ve been talking about

i am alice and alice is me

why is peter so chill about sacrificing half his lifespan to go to hell, i’ve hesitated longer when responding to a coffee invitation

i already do not believe peter as a character or any of their relationship in the slightest but here we go i guess we’ll get flirty one of these days for the funnies

the number of books that i have in my currently reading list which i have abandoned are none of my business.

KATABASIS !!!

yk i wish i had a little more backstory here to actually understand alice’s decision on a deeper level rather than a short paragraph then a “well we’re going to hell i guess” and then boom we are activating a pentagram but ill trust your judgment until i’ve fully read, r.f. kuang

i needa lock in fr, my library books are disturbingly overdue

does this woman not feel any fear at all in this whole joining-terrorists situation or is she just that vulnerable to peer pressure that her attachment (which is miraculously formed) to these kidnappers has led her to fearlessly join in on this chaos with no second guessing herself whatsoever… she literally held a gun herself, theres no way she doesnt know what she’s getting herself into

well this is interesting. i am guessing, though, that there is going to be a conflict when it comes to her comfortability in privilege, and how far she would really go to support the cause since she has never directly experienced oppression; the framing/foreshadowing reminds me of Letty’s progression from Babel.

im honestly not really buying it, her joining this terrorist group just like that. unless she’s just that dumb. idk maybe she is.

OOP???

ah yes a violent man, how incredibly romantically appealing

i feel like by enjoying this i am actively betraying myself

…UGHH ITS CUTE BUT ITS NOT REAL… TITTU 💔

WAIT A DAMN MINUTE??

as intolerable as she is, empathy prevails (as it should)

with each paragraph it just gets worse

I’ve gotten through the prologue, introduction, and hardly the first chapter, and I’ve never felt so called out right now

let’s just say my highlighter is doing its work

well that sure is a sentence to start a novel with

…well then
