They’re disgusted with each other. Who would have thought!

She knows his nature, she had what she wanted from him. Was she also of reckless and lustful nature or was she so enamoured by him that she wanted to live with his? She said she didn’t care about the others, that his illness was the only surprise to her in their relationship. Is she stoic or stupid? I’m not sure yet

Bill sees Edward shrugging his shoulder when he is suspected to be sedated. Nanda hears him making a “racket” when she enters the home to leave the stretcher she is giving Louise for travel. Wtf?

very dog. the pov switches threw me off a bit, though. and the dog referring to himself as “we” and “our”.

first she said the last time she saw him was oct 8th.. then NINTH. i’m crying. she’s lost it. L

soft spot for emma
deathly horny

her personality is disgustingly intriguing. hate her but love the way she makes me do so

“My left hand found the handle of the ice pick warm, weighty. I held it, appreciating its vintage heft, its history, and its design. I knew what to do. In an arc as perfect as a fifteen-year-old girl’s breast”

that last part was so … unneeded. i understand her gripe with her age, but the geometry of a teenage breast is of no interest to me lmao

just started, opening on chapter one.

i’ve heard it resembles Perfume: sensory writing, serial killer with a good sense of taste (as opposed to smell) blah blah. apparently she also eats people. so we’ll see

i’m not super infatuated with this book. a main theme is guilt and the physical manifestations of it. also the nature of cheating— the thrill is the fun of it. when there’s no hiding or sneaking, people like that get bored. i’m bored of this book. but it feels wrong not finishing it.

okay so, i don’t … understand. she is signing her life over to zoe’s ownership to.. repay her.

is she trying to get her fired? being the birth mother of agnes’ confidence is one thing, but will she hope to have her financially dependent on her? because she’s so willing to listen. somehow.

buying my apple peeler, exchanging trauma… paying my rent??? asking me to rebel in the workplace???? NO underwear. so i’m not sure this is normal. she’s not right, that’s for sure

“i’m not clicking my heels”

this book is quite funny sometimes. dialogue would translate very well into a movie. although i often disappoint myself, reading a book and hoping for a movie.

He smiled. “Human or Other?”
I shook my head.

“I’m talking to you, aren’t I?” I said.

There was a long pause.

“Look, man,” I said. “I just want to wake up.”

He nodded.

“Don’t we all,” he said.

creative take on the apocalypse. there IS an infection, but it is an infection of the mind that convinces its host that the living around them are the risen dead. not an actual zombie virus. i like it. it makes me think about all the spiritual patterns i see in the world. it unsettles me in that way.

i’m not roped in, but the characters are weird and intriguing. the romanticism of each other is relatable— outside the infidelity. they’re also clearly handling the death horribly in their own ways.
