I’m too tired I have to finish in the morning :(

These last 60 pages have been great but I’m not sure they justify the pacing of the 100 pages before it

I like Charlotte and I understand that there’s no going back to Sabine’s perspective, but I didn’t expect this to be the whole rest of the book. It’ll have to wrap up with a pretty good conclusion to justify another hundred pages of Charlotte backstory.

Sabine really is one of the most compelling female characters I’ve ever read. Even though her perspective will likely never come up again, I can feel what she is thinking through Charlotte’s perspective. She has been so perfectly characterized that you know exactly what she’s thinking, intending, and doing even though it’s not there.

This is going to be such a good arc. Charlotte is such a different person than Sabine, but they have such similar circumstances. The years that Sabine spent being constantly victimized by her family and society made her so harsh and spiteful. Charlotte is all of the circumstances but none of the sharpness that Sabine carries.

“Three women, all linked by one common thread…” these bitches is gay! Good for them!

HOW IS THAT OLD BITCH STILL KICKING GOD DAMN

You are a beautiful flower and I love to watch you grow
