i feel genuinely awful for her wow

audiobook is great

i love the writing so far

made lots of progress on the train the past few days. I really cannot tell who is manipulating whom in mallory’s marriage. pace has really picked up.

this book feels like watching someone dig a big hole, fall in, climb out, and then dig deeper over and over again

“…to a monster the norm must seem monstrous, since everyone is normal to himself. To the inner monster it must be even more obscure, since he has no visible thing to compare with others. To a man born without conscience, a soul-stricken man must seem ridiculous. To a criminal, honesty is toolish. You must not forget that a monster is only a variation, and that to a monster the norm is monstrous” (page 71)

she is so unlikable but also sometimes very likable and it’s so interesting that she genuinely believes most of this stuff

in all honesty i read the first two stories and then never came back to the third i’m doing that now chat ik that’s embarrassing

i liked that she acknowledges that she dislikes her sons wife not bc anything is wrong with her, but because she’s so mild and unpassionate. like wow you really don’t have much behind those eye do ya

going into this book completely blind but joanna said it’s sad and i’m gonna cry i’m so afraid

this book is so dense who on earth has the ability to write like that for this long holy hell

had to stop myself bc it’s 2 am. i’m upset about it tho.

i yearn for the feeling of reading wattpad in 2016 as a middle schooler. happy to report back that this book is providing.

oh virginia woolf i adore you. i love critical thinking and books that take time and how creative she is.
