stuck at page 50 bc i am so sad for elwood and the future that was ripped out from his hands with no fault of his 😭

need to not read about francesca

why is this book unputdownable

kicking a tiny book off my tbr

rereading after so many years in audiobook format

having a lot of fun this is like 1984 if women had no rights

not to jinx it but i feel like i am reading a 5 star this is sooo good

creative writing club mentioned

close enough, welcome back bunny

still having a lot of fun i love all the food descriptions a lil corny but still

ate this up ngl

why does the author always litter her books w such specific of-its-time references

this is rlly nice but the pacing is all over the place

this book is so good i cannot put into words how much i love her author voice and the critical look at communist history in tamil nadu

reading as part of the sanskriti book club september botm

first of all, fuck evan what the fuck secondly, i still don’t know if i like this book but i am committed to seeing it all the way through

live laugh capitalism

“If the End was Nature’s way of punishing us so that we might once again know our place, then yes, we knew it.”

the world rn as well tbh bc what the fuck is going on with the rains

compulsively readable

feels so realistic so far because there’s no overarching plot. We are just in the day to day of this woman and her wanting to take a bit of power back, a bit of her autonomy back is so nice

this is so bleak but i cannot stop reading - it’s very thoughts of consciousness so far but i enjoy what she is saying


i know there’s a lot of connections people have made in this book wrt to the real world but for now im just highlighting & moving on
