Liz Moise’s Reviews > Klara and the Sun > Status Update

Helen is a peculiar thing, cuz how do u not have the social cues to NOT call someone who isn’t a fascist A FASCIST??? and so casually too. Rick keeps saying she’s unwell but what does that even mean???

After the scene at the barn I knew Klara felt a typa way ab Rick but I didn’t think it was affection, more so curiosity. I can tell Rick does feel for Josie and that Josie may not feel the same for him. But Chrissie telling Klara to become Josie so she can garner Rick’s affections is fucked up. This is starting to remind me of The Host, and how Wanda had to become separated to be able to love as herself.

Ding ding ding i was correct

Oh this “portrait” is ABSOLUTELY an AF of Josie isn’t it???

Thats why the mom and this Mr. Capaldi are being so secretive and the portrait is behind a locked door and the measurements and photos are so precise. That’s my guess.

Melania might be my favorite character

Okay we just entered Yumi and the Nightmare Painter territory. The whole “destroy a machine to save people” in this case the machine Klara wants to destroy would be for the Sun to save Josie from sickness as opposed to Yumi & Painter needing to destroy the machine for the spirits to save everyone from the shroud

Im starting to think the boxes are like a grid that adapts Klara’s periphery to the world, i cant for the life of me remember if she was always seeing boxes like if she’d mentioned it earlier in the book.

Im also interested in this “plan” Rick and Josie have? I wanna assume its like a marriage pact. And since Klara is talking about these events in past tense im starting to dread learning why it failed.
