I'm actually so sad bro what the fuck is this

so he's just gone... like that? really? when does it end. also, i'm finishing this book by tonight. i am so done with this. i'm done.

Okay! This is when it reaches implausibility. I draw the line here.

I don't even know how to feel anymore.

I succumb to Willem and Jude's nasty, patronizing, guilt-induced, toxic but in reverse, essentially and incredibly problematic "love" (but maybe it's not; maybe they're meant to be! haha that's funny). I succumb to it all. I think this book requires one to loosen up the screws a little, and here I am still standing!

the prose is so bad now 😭😭

the writing is progressively getting worse. where is the build up with caleb. like poor jude and harold and andy but i didn't feel much impact because we only got to know caleb for like 3 pages before he went all out
