asdfj why is everything about sex to these people omg calm down

How can there be half an hour left in this book, hardly anything's happened, haha

I'm afraid we may be too far into the book with too little happening, but 1/4th is a lot, I suppose. Still, feels like the narrative is just going in circles. Even if characters do that, the narrative should not.

Knew it was gonna happen. This book is pushing her feelings too much.

Uh-oh, looks like we've reached the (sneaky brackets).

OMG pleeeease stop I'm gonna throw up but I owe it to finish this book please let's get back to the evil sand magician already - in their true form, not the 'lil kid tryna seduce older man' form omfg

Also the above was supposed to be here, not still at 52%.

why are they talking about a teenage girl and a grown man possibly being attracted to each other omg do people talk about this sort of thing irl, if so I don't know wanna go outside ever again

'Why do you mostly read children's books?' 'I'd show you ... but I don't think I want to.'

omg that was horrific why did it last so long omg why don't novels come with warnings and ratings

...........

I knew we'd get her age eventually. She's 17? Maybe because she lives old, that's why she doesn't really act mature for her age? ...maybe??

She's at least 14? ...I don't understand.

SIX??? chapters to get to the part in the blurb. Oh well, things are picking up, although I'm noticing more and more sentences I don't understand @_@ Help.

I'm lost and I can't tell if I'm supposed to be lol

Prose reads like a dialect, which is interesting and personality-filled, but does force me to reread lines sometimes because I am thick. How old is Dorothy? I can't tell at all. She reads like an 8 yo but that doesn't seem right (yes I am thick omg)

I hate myself omg

Ohhhhh I'm gonna hate myself for being so invested, but ...

I mean, I wouldn't have rejected him, even if he did have a ghastly family. Ghastly families are just part and parcel of life. What else do you need more than a handsome and rich husband?

A bit late to say this, but upon the description of Mr Carmyle, I fair melted through the floor. Fine, I have a thing for tall, dark gentlemen with high cheekbones and a restrained well-bred air. And I'd bet anything a beard would look wonderfully on him ... I have so many problems ...

When things become this twisted, one wonders if they will ever become untwisted again. Not that Wodehouse has ever failed to deliver.

Only Wodehouse. Only Wodehouse can make me react like this.

Take comfort, dear Baxter, that though you have been accosted by eggs, it is at the price of the readers understanding that you have a singing voice to be admired.

*someones talks trash about Baxter* Me: How dare you - Lady Constance: How dare you speak in this way. Were circumstances otherwise I would order you to leave my house immediately. Me: What she said!

Help the poor boy, they're gaslighting him

I love them so much. Hazel's such a sweet girl and she brings out the best in Daisy.

It was only by chance that I went to the bookstore today, when it was released, but buying it completely perked up my gloomy little day. And so far it's looking as good as ever!

Too long, Puzo, you're losing my interest.
