i had to FORCE myself not to finish this tonight!
but let’s just say: the heartbreak continues, but the love remains.

THE CLIFF-HANGER IS KILLING ME, but i must go to bed!
what a beautiful twist and turn from the difficult and raw memories Jude has shared in the last parts of the novel.

the absolute heartbreak, disdain, contempt, hardship and nasty situations jude has survived, and the life he is trying to give himself despite these things, is proving to be more difficult than jude expected.

this is a really hard book to read to be honest, but onwards i go

i’m both saddened and engrossed in the story of Jude’s life: emphasis on enGROSSed and emphasis on SADdened !!

i fear i am reaching the point where jude will cause me to join him in an emotional roller coaster…. oh rats!

i have had this on my TBR since 2021, bought it back in 2023, and i think i’m finally mentally ready to take it on!
