Every dark academia novel has to have the self-imposed outsider who has a "legitimate" reason for outcasting themselves despite the group they are connected with knowing this reason already and not caring.

I KNOW I'm almost done but the unreality/dissociation(?) of these last chapters is messing with my head so bad that I cannot bring myself to keep going. This is both a good thing for realism and a terrible thing for the mentally ill (me).

I'm emotionally distraught and I fear I am siding with the unreliable narrator rather than believing in nuance.

I miss Lia, I'm glad we are getting Hamlett Horatio time but I miss Lia.... Where is she.... Where does she keep going....

Truth or Dare is in fact a queer right of passage but specifically in small group settings at far too old an age to be playing such a childish game.

Oh Hamlett you are so bipolar coded and I cannot tell if this was intentional or not but I love it either way.

The fact that this books is making me want to own a physical copy to making annotations and also read Hamlet in order to do a comparison... This is truly devastating news.

I love subtle hints for polyamory actually building towards it instead of weird love triangles. I love polyamory in fiction so bad.
