trying so hard to plow through this for school 😭😭 i’m like skipping half of it i don’t even know if i should count this as a proper re-read

oh. my. god. the amount of gaslighting in this is so insane i’m feeling gaslighted myself. my brain feels like mush and i literally cannot believe what is real anymore holy crap. i want to finish this book but it’s destroying me mentally

also i KNEW that o’brien was a member of the party. i KNEW IT and i always hated him

HOLY CRAP I DID NOT SEE THAT COMING. I LOVED MR CHARRINGTON HOLY SHIT OH MY GOD OH MY GOD. HE WAS THE ONE CHARACTER THAT WASNT SUS OH MY GOD. W H A T

george orwell is giving me brain damage in the best way possible

i’m honestly becoming skeptical of literally everyone in this book. like at first i liked julia but part of me thinks she’s slightly sus. same with winston, even
