This is wild already. Leave it to the French lol

This begins during a foggy November, so clearly now is the perfect time to read it

I'm determined to finish this today. What is the damn secret?!

I think I’m officially up to where I stopped before. Really enjoying this! I really forgot some stuff lol

surprisingly enjoying this and finding it hard to put down even though i vaguely remember sort of what happens. Guess 3rd time was indeed the charm

maybe 3rd time with annotating will be the charm!

Really enjoying this so far. It's the perfect time to read this now, I've been saving it for fall.

up to part 2

I just audibly said “what the fuck” while reading this latest letter from Natalie’s dad. This book is sad as fuck. Possible 5 star prediction. So far, this is my favorite of Jackson’s work. We’ll see how it ends. I expect it to get sadder… Wish I had been annotating, but alas.

Well, I did not see that coming.

I've read quite a bit from Jackson, and while I wouldn't consider her a favorite author, I always find her works interesting and can acknowledge her influence on horror and writing. So far this might be her darkest/heaviest story. TW for heavily implied sexual assault. The end of that first chapter was rough, and this poor girl's parents suck and are a mess.
