i’m enjoying his writing and it is very good narratively, but not only is Brown not a historian but i think he is something of an ideologue, too

girl the overexposure

girl shut up

julie i need you to take the money and run. I know you won’t because you’re a moron but i wish you would.

ok she’s kinda losing me. this is so comically evil i can’t take it or its criticism of influencers seriously anymore

also i think this would work better if it was presented as a weird-girl-makes-first-female-friends-mistakes-platonic-feelings-for-romantic, canon event etc, but what do i know

I feel like a normal person would’ve been able to clock this subtext, or at least this as a possibility, as soon as they started talking to this guy. And I think it would be a more interesting thing to say about consent (maybe you don’t, but the person who’s life you stole *did*, so now you have to do as to not be suspicious. or something.)

this is the first time this book has been funny in ages

actually i think this book would be better if julie was a loser because she is fundamentally a bad person (and thus uniquely qualified to pull this off). like a 21st century dorian grey

is this a “good” book? absolutely not. am i enjoying it? very much

why is the doorman inside. actually, i’m about a page and a half into julie chan, lost in new york, and im wondering if liann zhang has ever actually been to new york.

you know i think maybe too many first attempts at novels are getting published

lot of britishisms for a canadian author.

perhaps a line of all time about architects

this really isn’t her best work but her writing is still so good

she’s got this kinda thing in both her books where the first story has an early adolescence & summer vacation & growing anxiety thing going on. it’s such a good motif, like a mini member of the wedding

why am i crying in the club rn

all day today i’ve had endless omg moments

CANON EVENT.

lmao so it’s emma willard

judyta may be becoming one of my favorite female characters

canon event.

so not only does peter suck but alice kind of does too. ugh.

not to be annoying but anachronism: tennis bracelets were not popularized until the 1970s and weren’t known as tennis bracelets until then either. before that they were line bracelets.

idk guys i’m kinda liking this one

actually already profoundly reminding me of my stint at aag and the girls from there who spent every summer at chingachgook

i have not heard the term “cit” in a longggg time
