MY YURI

i had to backtrack and jump into it again after taking a break to orient myself to the attitudes of the times. i feel better going into it a second time, but still pretty rough. to be a woman is to be plagued by all sorts of anxieties

THAT BITCH IS STILL ALIVE????

GIRL IS THIS GOOD? DO WE LIKE THIS?

yippee! hooray! violence!

okay okay. this is fun. a bit dated and a bit misogynist. but in a fun way

OH I FORGOT. I FORGOT THIS IS THE PREMISE OF THE BOOK? HOLY SHIT

ok it's fun in here, phew. it's kind of giving vronsky (anna karenina) if he were trying to be shakespeare. quite fun!

given how the last woolf novel went i'm wary. but. i wanna know what's in here

oh i am not in the right headspace for this book. all of you need to go to therapy right now

well, it's definitely not the book i expected it to be. it's painfully honest about what trying to be asian in a majority white area is like: it's lonely. people are horrid. parents give mixed advice about whether it's better to have community or to assimilate. it's isolating to be of a community but not speak the language. it's a book whose story i grew up living. i'm interested to know how it ends

this is funnn im so glad i picked this up
