“I bought a house, and that burned down. Then I bought a diamond ring, and my husband gave that to a Romanian gymnast. So I bought a racehorse and I bought this speedboat.”
“What happened to the racehorse?”
“Don’t ask. Mafia.”
“It’s taking on a lot of water,” says Amy.
“That’s life,” says Rosie. “We take on a lot of water. The trick is to keep moving.”

I want to be Rosie

“But she was bored, and when you’re bored it’s important to make things happen.”

That reminds me of that thing they say “depression cant hit a moving target” or smth like that 😂 cheers to that rosie

Trudging on just for Rosie

“Big Mick hasn’t killed anyone; Rob doesn’t like sushi. Horses for courses. They both like golf and sunshine, though, and that’s enough.”

I understand these words separately.

Might need to give this book an actual read through. So far I’ve been listening to it while doing work at night in the office

Its the cutoff point… i’d like to drop this but i checked that this is a standalone series and i dont need to read anything prior to it. So maybe its just me not comprehending much. I’d like to give it a little bit more chance.

Like felicity, i have no idea how things are going on rn

“Never been rich but never gone hungry.” My dream.

Hmmm really does feel like i need to read a series prior to this. I thought this is the first book of a series?

Hmm theyre referring to previous moments… did i miss a book or a series? Should i jump ship? I dont get much of it so far but maybe that’s just my slow brain.

Giving it probably until 10-15%

I need a reason to keep using my speechify app bcs i forgot to cancel my subscription (i thought they’d cancel the day after the trial period! I got scammed!). Its hella expensive so I’m going to milk this the WHOLE YEAR.

Still settling in with the writing for a murder mystery. Is this my first osman?

Trigger warning: Ch*tgpt lmaooooo. But I love the idea of cgpt being like an accomplice or tool of crime because of course it is.

If anything, that was a funny way to go about it

Oh nice “plot twist. I like the setup at least.

Lotsa questions still hanging in my head

Oh what the shit?

LMAO THE IMAGE IS HILARIOUS

Imagine ur stuck in ur negative spiral, then thought ur at the end of ur rope… and someone is like “ur not to die rn, ur gonna be a magical girl!”

The timing of it is funny somehow 🤣

Always wanna get a little loose and silly in between more serious books. And since I just got off The Intersectional Environmentalist and this book has a bit on climate change — but it’s mainly about a retired millennial magical girl — I thought, why not? that’s the best one to go for haha.

Is that a commentary about her own writing?

Hate : )

And now we speedrunnin the crash on loop

It feels like watching a car crash in slow motion.

I’ve been reading this book with permanent furrowed eyebrows

“I’m used to the person I’m dating, or sleeping with, or whatever it is, telling me all the things I ought to know instead of getting to know me. It’s how men, or boys, or both, communicate. They quote and they riff and they rant and they explain and they explain and they explain.”

🤏🤏🤏🤏🤏

Books and art are not meant to only comfort. This is definitely not comfortable. This is unnerving. Hate this feeling. Love that for the writing so far though.

I knew I’m gonna hate this moment and I do

“I know both Mom and Frannie meant well, but being told I don’t take things seriously enough by the person who takes everything seriously, or being told to stay young by the person who never grew up, doesn’t quite carry the weight that they want it to. You can never really believe someone if all they’re telling you is to be the same as they are.” Thoughtless advice does feel like that huh
