absolutely floored that this was written when it was with such empathy and (for the most part) subtlety
The only part that I think feels like it’s aged a bit is the exploration of sexuality.
Charlie only really starts having these feelings after the operation which I feel is a naïve view on how these things work. But then again the plot works better that way so who knows. Gotta take creative liberty somewhere

I HATE HATE HATE Alice. Completely and utterly terrible choices and behavior imo. To be fair though, I hate most people in this book. It’s rough.

I really like this book so far but I’m beginning to question if the things that I love about it were accidental on the authors part. Like, there is a lot of interesting psychology (attachment theory for instance) in here that I find fascinating but unless the author was really up to date on that stuff I doubt he was aware of it when it was written.
