Not the best way to lose your virginity I feel like and damn Joan

I miss when Esther was in NYC ):

Had to dig deep in my noggin to remember who Joan was

Poor Esther. Even when they tried to treat mental health in that time period it was still mighty awful

I wonder if shock therapy is something they did to men too during this time or only to women

Poor Esthie is depressed and opting out of everything

That was kinda heavy.
I wonder if she knew Marco was a “woman-hater” upon meeting him or if she reflected as much later in her narration.

That was a mighty fine chapter.
My favorite one for sure that one chapter 7

Just ten minutes in the book is racist and the MC is kinda rude but she's real asf too.

I really like this little scene where she says here grandmother used to tell her how much something she's eating would cost and so when she ate food she could only taste pennies.

I also like that it reads like a diary. It makes the book more fun and palatable to read.
