I am devouring this book, simply out of a desire to know what happens which is always good. I was v hard on the main character at first, how irrational I viewed her, but today my grandmother reminded me of when I yoked you a boy twice my size on the playground for calling me fat. I remember the heat in my body and then the urge to do something—anything I thought would work— that would make him rue the day.

Maybe.... hopefully... it’s like... a warning tale about how the images society fed her forces her into martyrdom. I’m also at a disadvantage because I don’t know the original story and I honestly kinda wanna stop until I do.

Another example of too much foreshadowing. I also feel like this book is a set up on how her... freer firey will causes more pain than if she’d just listened to all the warnings which is a bullshit message to try to give girls. I’m hoping I’m wrong. I don’t think I am.

I see what people meant about too much foreshadowing, I’m irritated. Also—I’m really curious about what the set up is for. “I should have believed her and modified my expectations”.

It feels very refreshing, the playfulness in it is found in the structure but also from the POV of our our darling main character. Tons of foreshadowing dropped, I’m v curious about how things will proceed after the the end of chapter 3!

I'm reading it because my mom wants us to be better with money. I have written "yuck" in it about eight times so far. This book feels like a prime example of what happens when yang energy is out of sync with yin. Yes you learned from your rich dad how to make money, but what did he miss in the process? There is truth to be found, so far it feels like the epitome of "a broken clock is right twice a day."

Bad at this but lets try again. I love granddaddy Watts.

I would have already been finished if I didn't stop myself.
