rereading this because i'm writing a paper on the contrasts and safe to say i am in awe all over again by how rich this book is – thematically, stylistically, lyrically, symbolically... like i could write a dissertation

yayyy title drop

i just want this to be over with

nothing more cringy than imagining a 71 year old grandpa with his 34 year old mistress in a matching pair of moccasins

seriously who’s letting him get away with all of the pedophilic remarks???

there is no reason for a sentence to be half a page long. also why the fuck is he comparing his mistress to a child.

happy women representation !!

roth feels a little too comfortable using slurs…

trying so hard not to tweak out because since like 50 pages ago my highlights stopped saving..

“and i don’t think i can become the mother you’re asking me to become” oh how the turntables…

enough with the pro-life nonsense

enough of the pro-life nonsense

i am exhausted

i need old men to stop writing women like that

why are there lowkey gay undertones…

why the fuck is he using Hardcore slurs in a book about being cancelled over an “innocuous” slur?????

oh my god this is a whole lot of yapping

“relationships grow in the cradle they are born in” i clutched my pearls

the adults in his life are absolutely insufferable

why is this lowkey humorous and whimsical rn…

seeing so many negative reviews on the book here while i’m cozied up, kicking my feet, and enjoying it 💔
