hard vibe shift from little women but let’s go

“she decided that the mission of politicians seemed to be calling each other names” (p 421)

“(male character) made no effort of any kind, feeling that all women owed him a kind word because one had been cold to him” (p 425)

nothing much has changed since 1868 huh

ok i was expecting fantastical vibes and there’s an element of that, but this is decidedly a dystopian novel. which i am loving. caroline o’donoghue’s writing is such a uniquely satisfying mix of funny and sharply observant and almost cozy in its familiarity, even amid the bleak circumstances. such a different genre than the rachel incident but off to a strong start.

this is giving me house in the cerulean sea in the best way

actually scratch that i deeply needed a palette cleanser from stephen king hahaha

i’m really going all in on stephen lately huh

inspired to pick this one back up and finally finish it

my motivation for reading this at this point is just to finish it as quickly as possible😂 the end is finally in sight
