“I don’t mean Mama. I wouldn’t want to be my mama.”
“That’s not what I said. I said you see her as ‘real’ because she has instilled this expectation within you from birth. This thing she wanted for you so badly, she made sure you grew up believing it. The way she sees the world for you is ‘real,’ and anything you’re doing outside of that is make-believe.”

My pajama pants were out of range, but his discarded t-shirt wasn’t, so I wore that instead. I might’ve been a dumb bitch on a leash, but I wasn’t about to Winnie-the-Pooh the night away.

Okay, up to this point, every thing Katya has done, I could see her perspective on, but going to Sergei to find Elena....yeah, that's just dumb AF.

Girl, without him you and your whole family would/will be dead! Who cares what he's keeping in the storage cabinet? You just look and see and shut the door and shut your mouth! Problem solved. 😂 She's not very pragmatic for a Russian female in the 90's....she's giving 2020 American female vibes.

I'm really enjoying this! I do feel like Katya's reaction to finding out who Vitali is seems...overdramatic and not reflective of the situation though. She's living in Russia in the early 90's, I can't imagine her crying and getting drunk for a month because her boyfriend is Bratva. Her whole family would be dead without him, when you're just trying to survivor, you cling to whatever safety net you have.

The VAST difference between this and the wholesome feel-good grumpy/sunshine I'm also reading simultaneously is pretty hilarious! 😂
