it shouldn't be such a rollercoaster, but this whole reading experience has been so heartbreaking. like i knew a lot of what was gonna happen, but the narrative has become increasingly more relatable


also, for a book set in the 1800s, it still parallels greatly with the current zeitgeist. like, many aspects of it have become much more prevalent. which is Bad

reading this book just makes me realize how desperate i am for academic validation

i'm so bragging, but she signed this book for me 💅

officially at the unhinged stage of a dark academia book

BRO WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK

i've been on a rollercoaster since that last update and now i gotta take a break bc woweeeee

WOW HOLY SHIT FUCKING HELL

lovell, and i don't say this lightly, is a cunt

definitely not a fan of letty rn -- she's really a product of her time and ironically, contemporary time as well
