needed a break from TSH for the last hour of work and just kinda kept reading into the evening 😂

Chapter 7 a rare short 50 pages we love to see it. Chapter 8 is literally the entire rest of the book tho 😭 worst part is that it does actually make sense to partition the book in this way so i cant even be properly mad at donna 😂

Chapter 6 defeated why are there so many chapters with 100+ pages donna why are you doing this to me 😭 anyways my new job gives me a lot of empty time waiting for calls so i will transform into a reading fiend you've all been warned 😂

this book is so unserious already lmao
the host of the dating event is called Marion ffs XDD
anyways thanks to the serial killer for offing Incel Curtis i guess

y'all thought i dnf'ed but no i'm back at it XDD
PART 1 FINISHED who tf allowed donna tartt to make chapter 5 100 pages long

not to be like rlly asexual or anything but it's such a pet peeve of mine when characters decide to fuck right as they were gonna sit down to eat a meal. it's such a waste of food uuuggghhh 😠

This book is simultaneously so boring yet so morish CH pls tell us your secret to writing like this. Also i think the mc should have been called Lowen Behold instead of Lowen Ashleigh given that nothing in this book is a surprise. You can tell what the plot is incl. plot twists just by reading the blurb 😅

genuinely can't decide whether this is a masterpiece or one of the worst books ever written

I'm always down for a book about the human condition ESPECIALLY when written from the perspective of an 'outsider'. This book was written for me specifically. Linda i love you and i have identified traits of autism within your character 😂

"Karina loved this man the way I loved planes. Knowing this, how could I begrudge their happiness?"
We stan an ally 😂
Also: "naughty landing gear" jfc

Absolutely great start, first we had the Moby Dick quote in the preface followed by "Call me Linda." 😂 Also: 'crashed planes strewn in postcoital debris', 'orgasmic catastrophe' and 'testicular engines'. This book is WILD.

GIRL YOU ARE SUCH A DAMN MESS 💀 I feel so bad for Elliott, man. And also pls stop trying to keep the blob prisoner 😭

Ethical dilemna avoided due to Bob having watched a PBS documentary about slavery and now he is all about self-autonomy 😂

Bob brief goomba phase followed by actually growing legs 😂 also this is about to get unethical as hell i just know

The blob has a face!! Also Vi, girl, ur lowkey toxic 😅😂

She named the blob...Bob 😂😭

Blob acquired

yes this is the book i chose to read for the aapi history month achievement. i love weird girl literature XD

Enjoying reading some 'healing fiction' vs. Realising this means something within you needs healing...

Manual labour has me going to bed at 10pm smh i gotta start reading in the morning so i can actually make some damn progress 😭

third consecutive wlw of the month let's go chinese lesbians

There is smth about the way romance is written in literary fiction that is just *chef's kiss*

Also rip Louis, out of 3 siblings the burden of heterosexuality falls to you and you alone, soldier 🫡

The way "I'm nothing like my brother." hits so hard because of the double meaning 😭🙏

I'm only 20 pages in and you're telling me that Orbital won the Booker Prize over THIS??? Disgraceful

Anyways. Sometimes a family is a womanizer elder brother, an emotionally-repressed middle sister, and a gay younger brother with a stable life and relationship 😂 and there's ALREADY tension btwn Eva and Isa??

Me when i have to wrap my head around multiple theories of quantum physics

Part 1 done and i can sense this is about to get a lot more complex lol
