reading for book club. kinda hate it so far

It’s really unfortunate that the most annoying man in the world is also the best writer. This one was mostly boring though.

Mona Awad does it for me every time. I absolutely loved this, which I know will be controversial. It was the most unsettling thing I’ve read in years.

“There was a menace in the woods and Rose could feel it, and another child would have called it God. Did it matter if a storm had metastasized into something for which no noun yet existed? Did it matter if the electrical grid broke apart like something built of Lego? Did it matter if Lego would never biodegrade, would outlast Notre Dame, the pyramids at Giza, the pigment daubed on the walls at Lascaux?”

There’s totally something to this argument but a lot of the feminist discourse is already outdated (from Chapter 2: “We were nasty and loud and pink and angry; our uteruses were not political objects, our pussies were not for grabbing, and our place was in the resistance.” Like😬).

Giulia thank you for getting this for me it is a major slay so far

This book is so impossible I really don’t think I can finish. It’s not even bad writing? Just impossible to get through.
