So much secondhand embarrassment….

Alison really has a way of making you feel full body secondhand embarrassment

‘I am presenting as happy because people like that’ oh wow

Bro this book is so messed up 🥺😭

Enid is incredibly relatable already….. oh no

This is the best moment in the book I swear. When she says she spent her whole life walking past an unmarked door just waiting for her to discover it…. Yes, that’s exactly it.

“It isn’t that Vicky doesn’t care. More that she cares so much and the inordinate amount paralyzes her.” …… I’m unwell

….That opening line is incredible. I need to go back

Aaaaaaaaaah Ally do you really want me to cry

This book is so messed up fr I’m literally sobbing and I’ve already read this book once before

The Thing About the Jack-o-Lanterns 5/5 I adored reading this. I love stories about found family, but I love stories about families being accepting more

Uncarting Territory 5/5 I wanted more time with these characters...

This Story is Called "The Transformation of Things" - 4/5 This really makes you think about how far you can reach and then made me feel like I didn't want to be looked at so closely which was interesting.

The Aloe’s Bargain- 4/5 this one’s very sweet and I liked that they grew up together, that made my heart happy

Now why would you do that😭

….please I swear two seconds ago it was midnight😭aaaah free me! I’m gonna lose my mind

There’s really nothing like this book

This chapter’s called A Lavender Lie….. that just brings me joy

I don’t know even know where this is going and I don’t know how there’s still 60%

Queer time…. And then Narrative…. That just plan hurt 😭

“I feel like I don’t know the things I’m supposed to, I feel like I’m pretending.”

“What do normal people do?”

“I think you just read the room, monitored facial expressions and tried to anticipate how other people were feeling because our parents couldn’t control their emotions” ……that hit

“He’s like a comic book villain. He’s the caricature of a bad guy, do you not see that?” ….. too real

I too wished I could stay in my caterpillar body and every time life changes I have that feeling that I don’t want to liquify to turn into a butterfly. Life is hard 😆

Honestly 2/5 Too much about current events for my taste

In Asbestos 4/5 Doing live in charity work half a year just so you can have one last fling with your hot girlfriend before you have to marry a man…. Oh my gosh

The Perfect Pair 5/5 Wow just her ex being like no you can’t love her! I chose to marry a man out of obligation and you should too!… and she moved to a whole new country to be with this girl wow it’s like a sapphic curse

Catacomb Voice 5/5 I wish there was a more satisfying ending but trying to bring your dead girlfriend back to life with some witchy ritual is so sapphic
