Chap 15

My first fictional read after an extremely long book slump and THIS is what I picked up?? 😭 HOW WILL I RECOVER

I just wanna have a talk with teenage me. Preferably with a bat.

“And as soon as I find her, I will let you know.”

PLS IM IN TEARS disappearing act 100/10

Beauty sobbing over thinking she’s too ugly to wear pretty dresses, Beast lost as to what to do as he stands outside, and the invisible maids furious that she keeps ripping off jewelry that they’re forcibly making her wear — I never knew I needed to read this I’m so amused

“It is a beautiful dress,” I said wildly, as my hair wound up again and the pin flew back to its place, and the shoes, and the rings to theirs; “And that’s why I won’t wear it; if you put a peacock’s tail on a sparrow, he’s still a brown little, wretched little, drab little sparrow.”

Ahh 🥺

Girl is on a new level of messed up

“What kind of girl are you anyway?”

“Look, just because you’re strong and fast and good and sports doesn’t make you better than me. Girls don’t need to be sporty any more than they need to be princesses. You don’t get to decide what I should be.”

“This is what the patriarchy does,” she said slowly. “It makes us doubt ourselves and argue with each other. Fleur, you are an excellent feminist. You’ve just taken a different route than me. Or anyone else. But that’s okay. There are thousands of different ways to be a feminist. And the great thing is, you get to choose which way works for you.”

“He didn’t like me for me. He’d liked me because he thought I fitted into a neat girlfriend-shaped hole in his life. And it turned out I didn’t fit that hole, not properly. I wasn’t neat. I was the wrong shape, inside and out.”

Tell me how I can get Fleur to be my best friend please. She’s quiet on the outside but has such inner strength and had above thoughts even while dealing with fresh heartbreak?

“I’ve given you back your souls, and I’m giving you back you pain. Because souls and pain go together. Sure, there’s happiness too. But if you’re alive you’re going to feel pain ...... You can’t give away your pain, not really. What’s yours is yours - that’s just the way it is.”

“That’s nuthin’,” David muttered. “Nuthin’ compared to ratting on my brother.”

Maddy’s mouth twisted. She gave him a sideways glance. “I don’t know about you and your brother,” she said. “I don’t give a shit about your goddamn brother. That’s your problem, and I’m not eating your pain.”

When I realised David was feeling sorry for himself though Maddy was the victim. Just, damn.
