“There were, I knew, no choices in life. I couldn’t escape. I didn’t have a choice.”

STFU!!! YOU’RE PISSING ME OOOFFFFFFF

Oh! A murder?

oof, I hate men.

I hate nonchalant men.

I hate THIS nonchalant man.

Leo you better count your days

Taking hallucinogenic drugs… in an old gothic medieval building… lit by candlelight… reading tarot… are you trying to get possessed by an old ghost???

I realized why I hate the narrative!!!

It’s written as if things are simply happening to Ann, like she doesn’t have autonomy??? Things happen, good or bad, and she just lets them happen with no input. Where’s the emotion???

Like… oh this man I kinda know brings me flowers and is now taking off my shirt and oops my friend walked into the room. She needs me so I’ll go with her then…

BITCH STAND UP!!!!!

So.

I don’t know if it’s the writing or some strange kind of nuance between Ann and Rachel, but their friendship seems so linear, where they share things with one another, but it’s so impersonal and doesn’t flow in the same way that other friendships are written.

Are they friends? Are they work friends? Or are they strangers? Bc I’m starting to feel like one is going to betray the other
