OH MY GOD WHAT THE FUUUUUUUCK HOLY SHIT

oh what the fuuuuuuck…

EXCUSE ME????

*theory*

why do i feel like Mirren is being poisoned?

it feels like shit’s about to get really shaken up in a minute here. idk the tension has been really high the whole time and now Cady is finally starting to notice the lies they’re throwing out casually. i am sooo uncomfortable lmao

“It’s a beautiful night, and we are indeed a beautiful family.
I do not know what changed.”

ewwww that’s so subtly unsettling in context with the scene just before it.

also don’t love how Gat and Cady’s relationship is going. it feels like the usual teenage romance but then weird shit will happen and make me feel like Gat is hiding something with her. giving me the heebie-jeebies.

this is actually a great example of how people start treating you different when you get severely injured or newly diagnosed with a medical disorder/disability. the way everyone is treading egg shells around Cady is wild. probably for other reasons besides just feeling like they have to tiptoe around her new disability, but still important to discuss nevertheless.

the fact that one of my friends from high school recommending this to me this afternoon is what got me to finally pick this book up and not all the hype and conversation that’s been happening since 2014 is hilarious, but regardless i like the writing a lot. the atmosphere is dreamlike and haunting in a great way. i love reading about, and kind of hating, rich elites doing nonsense.
