borrowed this from a friend and for the record this book is fucking awful. i'm only 32 pages in and lo and behold, women's breasts 😭

specifically a character was described as 'looking like michelle pfeiffer but with bigger breasts' 😐

you can def tell this was written by a gen x man who thinks he's rlly funny.......

i have made extensive notes on storygraph. scathing review incoming 🫡

not me discovering the magic of rereading while my tbr stares at me from the corner

Guys he's 🫲6'😜7"🫱
*i am taken out back and shot*

Anyways, whoever did the cover design did fabian SO dirty wtf is that outfit 🫣

My brain hates me i'm currently in a reading slump where the only exception is yaoi so here i am. Similarly catherine is in a reading slump where the only exception is ao3 😂

not sure i can take much more of this lmao

clearly not enjoying this as much as i think i am given that i'm now procrastinating reading it 🙂 idk if it's just me but this is simultaneously interesting AND tedious

ok monique's chapters are starting to get a bit grating, feels like the only reason she gets pov chapters is so the author can randomly start moralising every so often 🫤

this has a similar premise to satoshi kon's Millenium Actress (a film i rlly like!). it's certainly interesting so far :)

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 😭
