ow.

something in my heart tells me they're not getting that deferral and im gonna be devastated if they dont.

in the final stretch and everytime i get a question answered, ishiguro leaves me asking MORE questions about this hailsham system. this guy knows how to scratch an itch, and there's something about the way he writes that makes me feel like im falling in quicksand. it's relatively simple prose, but there's something so addicting about it.

"maybe once hailsham was behind us, it was possible, just for that half year or so...it was possible to forget for whole stretches of time who we really were."
kathy continues to reminisce but she'll drop little pieces of information about her origins that really strike me. i LOVE this train-of-thought writing and i'm suprised to see sex become a larger theme to further explore purpose and future.

yea this is not going to end well for me now that i know what makes them "special" and im kind of scared of how the rest of this book goes. but it just got GOOD. now the little school drama feels like it was cues i was missing. really curious.

are we fucking serious

feels so good to be reading again!
never let me go starts out with a suprising amount of school drama. i'm slightly unfamiliar with some of the english terms, but i'm enjoying the way kathy is reminiscing on her hailsham days. i'm just curious about what her current job as a "carer" truly entails.
