i’m finishing this book today but i wanted to comment on something. tjr’s books feel like morals wrapped thinly around a person and story. you don’t get a full picture of their lives, just the bits that contribute to the message. very few scenes of vanessa and joan, just the ones about loving forever and choosing the hard life

i’ve been reading steadily, was at pg 128 on monday and 96 on saturday. the story is picking up, the lesbians are together and it’s good. i was starting to get anxious so i read ahead. the child is saved from barbara thank god. and it was looking like bury your gays for a second there so im happy it’s not. totally spoiled the end but i needed happiness lol

this book is more technical than i was expecting. also i think i dislike TJR’s writing style. very basic and straightforward in a way that makes me feel 12. i guess she has good ideas though
