“And she was right there, wasn’t she? Standing, smiling, beckoning. Any day now, I would wrap my fingers around her neck and pull her forward. Let her topple into me.” This hit me like a brick.

This book is ✨insane✨

My face the entire time: 👁️👄👁️

(Also: it took five and a half hours to get to the teacher slander but we got there eventually! Chef’s kiss, no notes)

This is absolutely fascinating and insane. I love it.

Oh…..my god

Just finished the first part. I want to hug the narrator but I also want to shake her. I found myself thinking “why do you keep shrinking yourself?” I recognize all of her mistakes because I made them too. Love the prose so far. Ouch.

Finally someone who UNDERSTANDS oh my GOD

Very much appreciate a flawed main character. Like that the perspectives are starting to shift.

We love a well-read, sardonic girlie in this house

I’m gonna scream

Oh my god, Caroline Criado Pérez takes absolutely no prisoners. The first half hour of this book is just wallop after wallop. My head is spinning. I’m obsessed.

Deep appreciation for the fact that this diverted immediately and thoroughly from the movie. This is, interestingly, much weirder.

Timeline tricky to follow, especially in audio, but likely a feature not a bug. Excited to finally get into this one.

Exceptionally weird (compliment).

I’m mostly listening to this and feeling like I can’t savour some of the language or meaning like I want to. The book is beautiful in many ways that my threadbare, late-semester brain is struggling to grab. I’ll hear this gorgeous glimmer and realize that I’ve been thinking about scheduling or meetings or to dos. Takeaway: the book is lovely; I am tired.
