some things may have PMO but that doesn’t mean i’m not still crying over these damn characters

this is so bleak and grim like simply going. places and doing things i didn’t think we would….. it was strange to me that a study in drowning didn’t have any trigger warnings when reid’s adult novel “juniper and thorn” does. this novel definitely could have used one jesus CRHIST

okay it’s dawning on me that the pace and prose of this book is an intentional reflection of how mentally ill the protagonists are rn so I GUESS i can appreciate that though I still think things could have paced and edited better.

this has been really slow going, plot wise….. circuitous even…. repetitive perhaps… ouroboros character interactions and events

getting through this so slowly bc having both protagonists stress me out so much (because i love them) makes me scared to turn the damn page
