so far i find jane annoying, she’s just old and mean but she is also trying to get the weird guy who apparently is racist?? out from working at her university so. idk. i’m not at a point where we’ve got much from ‘iliahi but she’s currently a child raising her brothers by herself so im on her side. zoe is also annoying but i can kinda empathize bc her best friend died and it’s still affecting her 1/

PLEASE BE SERIOUS LIKE WHAT IS A NOSEGAY?? IN REFERANCE TO FLOWERS?? IS IT JUST A FLOWER THAT SMELLS GOOD AND MAKES YOU/YOUR NOSE HAPPY?? ERGO NOSEGAY?? please. Please

i really have no idea what’s going on at any point in this book like i’ll read a whole page and then nod and go “mhm mmhm. i know Some of these words”. Am I Dumb

IT SEEMS AS IF I SHOULD BE HOMESICK FOR YOU EVEN IN HEAVEN. IM GOING TO THROW UP

oh my god. she’s really going “i have a feeling that it never was intended i should live long” YOU ARE NOT EVEN 20 YEARS OLD 😭😭DONT GIVE UP NOW BETH

the way this woman reveals plot points is so confusing like i DO NOT have any idea what is going on. i keep rereading the first paragraphs of beth “telling” jo her secret which im just assuming is that she’s still very sick and is going to die?? but so far nothing has been said directly. the narrator and the characters are talking like it’s obvious but iTS NOT IM SO CONFUSED

so laurie is clinically insane

amy: “…i hate poverty, and don’t mean to bear it a minute longer than i can help” 😐talking about being on a trip with other family members and a boy who is one of laurie’s friends just happened to be in the same place as them. and how they’re getting closer now and Oh he’s so rich…and he seems to like me..hmmm. GIRL I DONT CAARREE OH MY GOD YOU ARE ANNOYING. idc if you’re a child atp

amy: “i wish fred was dark, for i don’t fancy light men…i wont find fault with their yellow hair, as my own is yellower” THE DOUBLE TAKE I JUST DID. I WAS LIKE …..aren’t you ALL white people?? this is the 1800s?? BUT SHES TALKING ABOUT HAIR. IM LOSING IT

“we don’t have windows in our breasts” someone PLEASE tell me what this is supposed to mean

jo: “i’m a crotchety old thing, and always will be”
FRIEND ARENT YOU LIKE 19 AT THIS POINT IN TIME?? ARE YOU SAYING THIS IN A JOKING MANNER?? I DONT UNDERSTAND MOST OF THE DIALOGUE IN THIS BOOK BC IT MAKES NO SENSE SO YOU MIGHT BE BUT I REALLY CANNOT TELL

jesus fucking christ

what the hell

atticus being this good of a parent during this time in history…everything does surprises me and then i’m like “oh right he’s a good person i forgot”

jem crying over the loss of his Emotional Support Hole in The Tree. that a mysterious someone was leaving them offerings in. chewing gum and all that. and then suddenly was filled with concrete. who tf fills a TREE HOLE with CONCRETE. i love this book. i understand him

so strange to me that she calls her father by his first name but i also understand. if my mom died when i was 2 and i couldn’t remember her i also probably wouldn’t have a close relationship with my only remaining parent

okay so he’s humanizing this literal nazi a little too much for my liking but i cannot tell where his storyline is going so. idk

reading and going “god what they did was awful” and then remembering all of this actually happened to real humans. and i just have to continue on with my day. wtf

this guy is a good writer but i do not like the way he describes the physical appearance of children at all. like it’s…not gross….but it’s just a little weird

one again jo is so fucking funny

mama march….fortunately i don’t think you can make your daughter love a man just bc he was of service to you…like sorry. but also not really.

this book may be very old and outdated but i do enjoy the writing

jo is so funny dude

jo just said “…i don’t mind being a guy, if im comfortable” okay. Hello? is anyone else here with me
