i really have no idea what’s going on at any point in this book like i’ll read a whole page and then nod and go “mhm mmhm. i know Some of these words”. Am I Dumb

IT SEEMS AS IF I SHOULD BE HOMESICK FOR YOU EVEN IN HEAVEN. IM GOING TO THROW UP

oh my god. she’s really going “i have a feeling that it never was intended i should live long” YOU ARE NOT EVEN 20 YEARS OLD 😭😭DONT GIVE UP NOW BETH

the way this woman reveals plot points is so confusing like i DO NOT have any idea what is going on. i keep rereading the first paragraphs of beth “telling” jo her secret which im just assuming is that she’s still very sick and is going to die?? but so far nothing has been said directly. the narrator and the characters are talking like it’s obvious but iTS NOT IM SO CONFUSED

amy: “…i hate poverty, and don’t mean to bear it a minute longer than i can help” 😐talking about being on a trip with other family members and a boy who is one of laurie’s friends just happened to be in the same place as them. and how they’re getting closer now and Oh he’s so rich…and he seems to like me..hmmm.
