Okay. So. That’s what happened. Yeah, it checks. Dell is a piece of shit- understand the trauma and feelings of inadequacy- still absolutely no excuse.

Okayyyyyy that was intense. I get it though- being willing to do anything to save someone you love. We’re not even near the end yet.

I love the imagery this author paints in such a casual conversational manner “I look out the window and my body is spilled out in the lawn, arms, legs twisted in improbable directions. Out of my cracked skull sprouts a thickened rot, a bursting spiral of leaves.” It’s all very botanical body-horror ♡.
In other notes, this chapter didn’t go as horribly as expected- which has me concerned for the next one.

God- men fucking suck. Incels to be specific, but at this point- what’s the difference?

I’m concerned. I’m glad that there seems to be at least someone on her side- and I’m interested in finding out why she struggles with her mom.
I have heavy motivation to finish this one now (no breaks- no time for decompressing) since a friend who finished this one is really interested in discussing it (or I’m the one who’s really interested in discussing it lol)

This book makes me so nervous with where it's going. Live-streaming is genuinely freaky to me. I get why Dell "likes" it tho- I also grew up in the Omegle days- but nothing is truly anonymous and that side has already shown itself.

Okay. So that escalated very quickly. Going from eating some spicy peppers to getting caught shoplifting is not what I expected- but what I do expect is for things to get bad. Very quickly from the pace we’re going at.

Wow. I know it’s really easy to just press a button and stream (especially if you’re desperate) but like, no hesitation? I’ve definitely thought of it before, but I’m no internet persona, and the job definitely isn’t for just anyone- this can definitely go in a lot of directions, and with Dell already doing things for money, I’m scared.

This was recommended to me as a “really good but super messed up book”- which didn’t initially hook me… but seeing the name Ottessa Moshfegh on the back did. And immediately: it. is. so. good.
The writing is fantastic and refreshing, the plot (so far) horribly relatable- and I literally know nothing about this book or where it’s going, but it’s officially gotten me out of my reading slump.
